Roisin (Last Farewell) |
Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won’t be home |
There’s something that I have to do and I must do alone |
They have took me and they’ve put me in this lonely prison cell |
Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell |
So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michal |
I have no words to tell you how much I miss you all |
And though I may not show it you know I loved you well |
So in my final letter I will bid my last farewell |
Dearest brother won’t you take good care of all the folks for me |
Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free |
I was happy when you stood by me in all that we’ve been through |
No one has ever had so true a brother such as you |
Dearest mother it’s so very sad that now we have to part |
To understand the reason would trouble your poor heart |
I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny |
To die a true brave soldier so that one day you’d be free |
