Lyrics Derek Ryan – The Red,Yellow And Green
Text:
A cock crows
A daffodil grows
Another dew glazed morn
A church bell rings
A carlow emigrant is born
With footsteps of a child I leave my home behind
Nastled in mount lenster standing tall
It’s a sign of the times my friends I have no choice
But to answer this hope giving call
Follow me to to wear the red yellow and green
Far over the sea
Follow me and by God make sure your seen
Where your hearts lying somewhere in between
The red yellow and green
Bright lights and crowds surround me now
From garry hill a far far cry
But one flash in time the river burren is mine
Where I went fishing as a child
As it flows peacefully through priceless scenery
No foreign sights compare
Its a sign of the times a memory in my mind
Here I am living on a prayer
Follow me to wear the red yelloow and green
Far over the sea
Follow me and by God make sure your seen
When your hearts lying somewhere in between
The red yellow and green
A cock crows
A daffodil grows
A church bell rings
A blackbird sings
A carlow emigrant is born
