[Verse 1]
His eyes they closed
And his last breath spoke
He had seen all to be seen
A life once full, now an empty vase
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
[Chorus]
Walk away me boy
Walk away me boy
And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear
From your mother dear
And raise what's left
Of the flag for me
[Verse 2]
Then the rosary beads
Count them 1, 2, 3
Fell apart as they hit the floor
In a garb of black
We must pay respect
To the color we're born to mourn
[Chorus]
Walk away me boys
Walk away me boys
By morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear
From your mother dear
And raise what's left
Of the flag for me
His eyes they closed
And his last breath spoke
He had seen all to be seen
A life once full, now an empty vase
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
[Chorus]
Walk away me boy
Walk away me boy
And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear
From your mother dear
And raise what's left
Of the flag for me
[Verse 2]
Then the rosary beads
Count them 1, 2, 3
Fell apart as they hit the floor
In a garb of black
We must pay respect
To the color we're born to mourn
[Chorus]
Walk away me boys
Walk away me boys
By morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear
From your mother dear
And raise what's left
Of the flag for me
