letra de the tri-coloured ribbon - landless (irl)
[verse 1]
i had a true love if ever a girl had one
i had a true love, a brave lad was he
one fine easter morning with his gallant comrades
he started away for to make ireland free
[chorus]
so all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me why do i wear it, o
’tis all for my true love i ne’er more shall see
[verse 2]
he whispered, “goodbye love, old ireland is calling”
high over dublin a tri-colour flies
in those streets of the city the foeman is calling
thed wee birds are singing, “old ireland, arise”
[chorus]
so all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me why do i wear it, o
’tis all for my true love i ne’er more shall see
[verse 3]
his bandolier around him his bright bayonet shining
his short service rifle a beauty to see
there was joy in his eyes though he left me repining
and started away for to set ireland free
[chorus]
so all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me why do i wear it, o
’tis all for my true love i ne’er more shall see
[verse 4]
in prayer and in waiting, the dark hours passed over
the roar of the guns brought no comfort to me
oh, i prayed for old ireland, i prayed for my true love
that he might be safe and old ireland be free
[chorus]
so all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me why do i wear it, o
’tis all for my true love i ne’er more shall see
[verse 5]
the struggle has ended, they brought me the story
the last whispered message he sent unto me
“i was true to the land and i fought for our glory
and gave up my life for to make ireland free”
[chorus]
so all around my hat i wear a tri-coloured ribbon
all around my hat until death comes to me
and if anybody’s asking me why do i wear it, o
’tis all for my true love i ne’er more shall see
