[ti:Foggy Dew] [ar:The Dubliners] [al:The Transatlantic Anthology] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Foggy Dew - The Dubliners [00:16.06]As down the glen one Easter morn [00:22.18] [00:22.71]To a city fair rode I [00:27.31] [00:28.40]There Armed lines of marching men [00:34.99]In squadrons passed me by [00:40.77]No fife did hum nor battle drum [00:46.84]Did sound it's dread tattoo [00:52.45]But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell [00:58.56]Rang out through the foggy dew [01:03.45] [01:04.53]Right proudly high over Dublin Town [01:10.54]They hung out the flag of war [01:15.68] [01:16.45]'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky [01:22.34]Than at Sulva or Sud El Bar [01:26.75] [01:28.22]And from the plains of Royal Meath [01:33.97]Strong men came hurrying through [01:38.90] [01:39.71]While Britannia's Huns with their long range guns [01:45.71]Sailed in through the foggy dew [01:49.98] [01:51.36]'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go [01:57.24]That small nations might be free [02:03.16]But their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves [02:08.70]Or the shore of the Great North Sea [02:13.05] [02:14.23]Oh had they died by Pearse's side [02:20.02]Or fought with Cathal Brugha [02:25.70]Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep [02:31.04]'Neath the shroud of the foggy dew [02:35.09] [02:36.55]But the bravest fell and the requiem bell [02:42.14]Rang mournfully and clear [02:46.64] [02:47.30]For those who died that Easter tide [02:52.86]In the springing of the year [02:57.10] [02:57.95]And the world did gaze in deep amaze [03:03.27]At those fearless men but few [03:07.86] [03:08.37]Who bore the fight that freedom's light [03:13.73]Might shine through the foggy dew
