Many Young Men Of Twenty The Wolfe Tones

[Chorus]
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
On that long day
From the break of dawn until the sun was high
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

They left the mountains and glens
The lassies and the fine young men
I saw a tear in every girl and boy
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

Last night, I held my darling in my arms
Farewell, my love
It breaks my heart to see you cry
Farewell, my love, for maybe I will die
Many young men of twenty said goodbye

My boy Willie sailed away
And a big ship went away
He sailed away and left me here to cry
For many young men of twenty said goodbye

[Chorus]
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
On that long day
From the break of dawn until the sun was high
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
