The Wolfe Tones — Many Young Men Of Twenty

(Chorus) Many young men of twenty said goodbye On that long day From the break of dawn until the sun was high Many young men of twenty said goodbye Many young men of twenty said goodbye They left the mountains and glens The lassies and the fine young men I saw a tear in every girl and boy Many young men of twenty said goodbye Last night, I held my darling in my arms Farewell, my love It breaks my heart to see you cry Farewell, my love, for maybe I will die Many young men of twenty said goodbye My boy Willy sailed away And a big ship went away He sailed away and left me here to cry For many young men of twenty said goodbye (Chorus) Many young men of twenty said goodbye Oh, that long day From the break of dawn until the sun was high Many young men of twenty said goodbye Many young men of twenty said goodbye I wish that I was back again Beside my darling in the glen We'd sit and watch the small birds as they fly For many young men of twenty said goodbye (Chorus) Many young men of twenty said goodbye Oh, that long day From the break of dawn until the sun was high Many young men of twenty said goodbye Many young men of twenty said goodbye
