Rastrelnikov Lyr Add: Banks of Sicily (from Clancy Brothers) (3) Lyr Add: BANKS OF SICILY (Clancy Bros) 02 Dec 97


Not sure if you'll want to include this. There are already two versions in the DT. But I refer to these lyrics in another thread.

BANKS OF SICILY
(As sung by the Clancy Brothers)

CHORUS: Farewell, ye banks of Sicily
Fare ye well, ye valleys and shores
There's no Scot will moan the loss of ye
All the poor soldiers are weary

The piper is drowsy, his pipes laid away
He won't be around for his vino today
The sky o'er Messina is heavy and gray
And all the poor soldiers are weary. CHORUS

The drummer is dressed up both handsome and tall
His drums and his gear are laid by the wall
He's braced himself up for his photo and all
To take with his Lola, his dearie

Then tune the pipes! and sound the tenor drums
Gather your kit, this side of the wa'
Then tune the pipes! and sound your tenor drums
All the poor soldiers are weary. CHORUS
