Lyrics
|
Into the West - land of the free
In freedom will I e'er a stranger be
So up the stairs I climb
Open up the trunk and find
The piece of home I carried 'cross the sea
Weeping o'er The Turf o' Tullamore
Exiles both - the Irish sod and I
The Turf o' Tullamore
Will know my bones forevermore
Sweeten my grave when I
Lay down to die
For my sons I made a pledge
They'll not beg the Crown for daily bread
There's days I understand
The promise in this promised land
And days I fill my glass with my regrets
When I take my final rest
Lay the Turf o' Tullamore upon my breast
And it's sweet - the dream I'll dream
Home to Erin's fields of green
By the Shannon's holy waters, I'll be blessed
