Song Lyrics:

Ireland’s Lament

Vs1

See the sea, rolling in with the cold wind

It brings the memories back to me

See the sea,…The swells are tinged with red

Of the many souls in death set free

Ch

Ooo-oo though sons and daughters I have many

This restless sea knows no rest.  Ooo-oo

Vs2

See the hills,… The verdant rolling mountains

It brings the memories back to me

See the hills,… The battlefields of homeland

For peace, Oh peace, it is my plea

Ch

Ooo-oo though sons and daughters I have many

Thjs restless land knows no rest.  Ooo-oo

Vs3

See this people,… Torn apart by war

It brings the memories back to me

See this people,… History knows of its struggle

They cry for freedom , Oh please set them free

Ch

Ooo-oo though sons and daughters I have many This rest1ess people knows no rest. Ooo-oo
