I am looking for this song, (i assume it's the correct title) but in the DT it's down as, "there's a ship lies rick and ready in the harbour...." The song i'm chasing goes something like..

Dearest mother, i am writing just to say i won't be home
There is something i must do,that i must do alone,
As i sit here in the silence of my lonely prison cell
as i write my final letter
I bid my last farerwell

(chourus)
So say goodbye to margret
Mary, Bridgit and Mee-haul ( < Don't know irish spelling for Michael)
I have no words to tell you
How much i love you all
.........................
.........................
as i write this final letter
I bid my last farewell.

Any one can point me to, or post the words I would be gratefull. Also any info on the history and story of the song would be of interest.

MY LAST FAREWELL

Sean/Frank O'Meara


Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won't be home
There's something that I have to do and I must do alone
They have took me and they've put me in this lonely prison cell
Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell

Chorus

So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál
I have no words to tell you how much I miss you all
And though I may not show it you know I loved you well
So in my final letter, I will bid my last farewell


Dearest brother won't you take good care of all the folks for me
Go home to Rathfarnham on the day they set you free
I was happy when you stood by me in all that we've been through
No one has ever had so true a brother such as you

Chorus

Dearest mother it's so very sad that now we have to part
To understand the reason would trouble your poor heart
I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny
To die a true brave soldier so that one day you'd be free

Chorus

I found it with a Google of

"Say goodbye to Margaret"

Laeve the quotes on. There are three sites that may help with history, etc.
