His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke he had seen all to be seen
A life once full, now an empty vase Wilt the blossums on his early grave
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy And by mornin' we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear And raise what's left of the flag for me
Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three Fell apart as they hit the floor
In our garb of black we must pay respect To the colour we're born to mourn
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear And raise what's left of the flag for me
In his place there grew an angry festered wound Filled with hatred and remorse
Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched The silent rage not that fills my lungs
For there are many ways to kill a man they say With bayonet, axe, or sword
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear And raise what's left of the flag for me
From the East out to the Western shore Where many men and many more will fall
But no angel flies with me tonight Till freedom reigns on all
And curse the name for which we slaved our days Till every man shall his kingdom come
But sure as night turns day Ends the passion play my god what have they done
With madman's rage, well they dug our graves But the dead rise again you fools
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear And raise what's left of the flag for me
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys And by morning we'll be free
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear And raise what's left of the flag for me
