19 Dec 99 - 11:23 AM (#151494) Subject: The Green & The Blue From: Mbo Here's one of my favorite Battlefield Band songs, from the album "Crossing The Borders" (with Kate Rusby singing harmony!): THE GREEN AND THE BLUE Chorus: Don't turn to look on the green hills of Antrim Fermanagh's behind you, it's time tae move on Look onwards tae Glasgow, and all your tomorrows Your future lies there, and it's waiting for you As the green crosses over to meet with the blue. And what was the sense when the wee ones were cryin'? The cries of the hungry, no sense to remain No prayer could recover a sister or brother So farewell to Fermanagh, the praying is done. Chorus The lands that you leave pass into many martyrs And too many lives that have perished in vain And too many boats slipping out from it's harbours With cargoes that never came homewards again. Chorus If the wings of the eagle could carry you over To the lands of the prairie, then surely you'd fly But an ocean so wide, and a far distant country So far from your own land is no place to die. Chorus As the green crosses over to meet with the blue. --Mbo |
