Текст песни Back to Mayo - Foster , Allen

My name is Michael Gahan
From Ballina I came
I saw my people suffering
And vowed I'd break the chain
I raised the flag in England
Prepared to fight or die
Far away from Mayo
Beneath an Irish sky

Take me back to Mayo
Across the Irish sea
Home to dear old Mayo
Where once I ran so free
Take me back to mayo
There let my body lie
Home at last in mayo
Beneath an Irish sky

My body cold and hungry
In Parkhurst jail I lie
For loving of my country
On hunger strike I die
I have just one last longing
I pray you'll not deny
Bury me in Mayo
Beneath an Irish sky

Take me back to Mayo
Across the Irish sea
Home to dear old Mayo
Where once I ran so free
Take me back to mayo
There let my body lie
Home at last in mayo
Beneath an Irish sky
