Dubliners - Many Young Men of Twenty lyrics

Many young men of twenty said goodbye All that long day From break of dawn until the sun was high Many young men of twenty said goodbye My boy Jimmy went that day On the big ship, sailed away Sailed away and left me here to die Many young men of twenty said goodbye I met my love upon the mountain Rim The day he left I knew I bore a living child of him I knew I bore a living child of him And the child was born to me Jimmy is gone across the sea Jimmy is gone and here alone am I Many young men of twenty said goodbye My Jimmy said he'd sailed across the sea He swore his oaths He'd sail back home one day and marry me He'd sail back home one day and marry me But my Jimmy let me down Now they mock me in the town Oh, my Jimmy, please come back to me Oh, my Jimmy, please come back to me Many young man of twenty said goodbye All that long day From break of dawn until the sun was high Many young men of twenty said goodbye They left the mountains and the glens The la**es and the fine young men I saw the tears of every girl and boy Many young men of twenty said goodbye
