Текст песни Wrap the Green Flag Round Me Boys (Live) - The Wolfe Tones

Wrap the green flag round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
At life I long to see it wave
And follow where it led
But now my eyes grow dim
My hand would grasp its last bright shred
Wrap the green flag round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
I had hoped to see you, boys
On many a well-fought field
And to our sacred banner, boys
The traitorous foe would yield
But now, alas, I am denied
My dearest Earthly prayer
You'll follow and you'll meet the foe
But I shall not be there
Wrap the green flag round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
Though my body molders, boys
My spirit will be free
And every comrade's honor, boys
Will yet be dear to me
And in the thick of bloody fight
Let not your courage lag
For I'll be there and hovering near
Beneath the dear old flag
Wrap the green flag round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
