Misc Traditional - The foggy dew

'Twas ^Amdown the glen one ^GEaster ^Emmorn to a ^Amcity f^Dmair rode ^AmI, There ^Amarmed lines of ^Gmarching ^Emmen in ^Amsquadrons ^Dmpassed me ^Amby; No ^Cpipe did hum, no ^Gbattle ^Cdrum did ^Amsound its ^Emloud tat^Ftoo, But the ^AmAngelus bell o'er the ^GLiffey's ^Emswell rang ^Amout through the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew.

Right ^Amproudly high o'er ^GDublin ^EmTown they ^Amhung out the ^Dmflag of ^Amwar, 'Twas ^Ambetter to die neath an ^GIrish ^Emsky than at ^AmSuvla or ^DmSud El ^AmBar; And ^Cfrom the plains of ^GRoyal ^CMeath strong ^Ammen came ^Emhurrying ^Fthrough, While Brit^Amtania's sons, with their ^Glong range ^Emguns, sailed ^Amin through the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew.

O, the ^Amnight fell black, and the ^Grifles ^Emcrack made ^AmPerfidious ^DmAlbion ^Amreel, 'Mid the ^Amleaden rain, seven ^Gtongues of ^Emflame did ^Amshine o'er the ^Dmlines of s^Amteel; By each ^Cshinning blade a ^Gprayer was ^Csaid that to ^AmIreland her ^Esons be ^Ftrue, And when ^Ammorning broke still the ^Gwar flag ^Emshook out it's ^Amfolds in the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew.

'Twas ^AmEngland bade our ^GWild Geese ^Emgo that small ^Amnations ^Dmmight be ^Amfree, But their ^Amlonely graves are by ^GSulva's ^Emwaves or the ^Amshores of the ^DmGreat North ^AmSea. Oh ^Chad they died by ^GPearse's ^Cside or had ^Amfought with ^EmCathal ^FBrugha, Their ^Amnames we'd keep where the ^GFenians ^Emsleep, 'neath the ^Amshroud of the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew

But the ^Ambravest fell, and the ^Grequiem ^Embell rang ^Ammournfully ^Dmand ^Amclear, For ^Amthose who died that ^GEaster^Emtide in the ^Amspringtime ^Dmof the ^Amyear. While the ^Cworld did gaze with ^Gdeep a^Cmaze at those ^Amfearless ^Emmen but ^Ffew, Who ^Ambore the fight that ^Gfreedom's ^Emlight might ^Amshine through the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew,

Back ^Amthrough the glen I ^Grode ^Emagain, and my ^Amheart with ^Dmgrief was ^Amsore, For ^AmI parted then wit^Gh valien^Emt men who I ^Amnever shall ^Dmsee no^Am more; But ^Cto and fro in my ^Gdreams I ^Cgo, and I'd ^Amkneel and ^Empray for ^Fyou, For ^Amslavery fled, o' ^Gglorious ^Emdead when you ^Amfell in the ^DmFoggy ^AmDew.
