[ti:The Foggy Dew] [ar: The Chieftains] [00:12.67]the foggy dew [00:15.02]As down the glen one Easter morn [00:24.68]To a city fair rode I, [00:33.38]There armed lines of marching men [00:42.29]In squadrons passed me by. [00:49.79]No pipe did hum,no battle drum [00:58.24]Did sound its loud tattoo [01:09.20]But the Angelus'bells o'er the Liffey swells [01:20.05]Rang out in the foggy dew. [01:33.81]Right proudly high in Dublin town [01:39.16]Hung they out a flag of war. [01:44.37]'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky [01:49.97]Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar. [01:55.32]And from the plains of Royal Meath [02:00.87]Strong men came hurrying through; [02:06.12]While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns [02:11.25]Sailed in through the foggy dew.※※※※※※※※※※ [02:27.66]The bravest fell,and the requiem bell [02:33.06]Rang mournfully and clear [02:38.21]For those who died that Easter-tide [02:43.66]In the springing of the year. [02:48.86]While the world did gaze with deep amaze [02:54.21]At those fearless men but few [02:59.32]Who bore the fight that freedom's light [03:05.33]Might shine through the foggy dew.※※※※※ [03:30.59]And back through the glen I rode again [03:45.04]And my heart with grief was sore [03:54.65]For I parted then with valiant men [04:04.20]Whom I never shall see more [04:12.50]But to and fro [04:17.26]In my dreams I go [04:21.21]And I kneel and pray for you [04:31.27]For slavery fled [04:37.97]Oh,glorious dead [04:46.82]When you fell in the foggy dew
