Edwina Hayes - Irish Waltz lyrics

Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old Dawn is falling on the valley below Today you must leave for a far distant shore Oh wake up, the night is old Hearts will be breaking by the harbour today Children will be crying and mothers will pray As sweethearts and fathers and sons sail away Oh hearts will be breaking today When you're save over the ocean send back news to me From the place you'll be working across the great sea For its patiently waiting here for you I'll be When youre safe there, send back news to me On that fine day you come home back to us in spring Drink will be flowing and the churchbells will ring There'll be money a plenty and the children will sing On that fine day you come home in spring Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old Dawn is falling on the valley below Today you must leave for a far distant shore Oh wake up, the night is old
