cd: Mist of the Irish Sky
track 3: The Wild Geese of Ireland
Are longing to come home
But in their hearts
They know they never can
God bless these sons of Erin
Wherever they might roam
And the Wild Geese of Ireland
Are longing to come home
The Wild Geese of Ireland
Are longing to come home
They fought the fight for freedom
At their homeland brother’s side
With decorated valor
They upheld the Irish pride
Banished to the mainland
As a bloody spoil of war
They set out for foreign shores
Chorus
They fought for Patrick Sarsfield
At the Battle of the Boyne
The treaty penned at Limerick
Was the sign that they’d be goin’
He marched his loyal warriors
Down to Cork and to the sea
And set off for Normandy
Chorus
They’ve worn so many colors
Sometimes on separate sides
They served as Yanks and Rebels
In America’s divide
The Spanish list of heroes
Has so many shades of green
As the Wild Geese wove their dream
Chorus
Dulahan Music
