Lyrics:
Wrap the green flag 'round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
In life I loved to see it wave
fury
So cinch tight my winding sheet until my body finds its form
Ship me off to Italy and bury me on that Island where I was born
Who's gonna ever
me a winding sheet
For my grave
And let thy winds
And the tempest beat
And I'll lie down as cold as clay
Where's the warm and piercing sun?
You
of bread and wine
That they might drink and eat;
She spread them a bed of winding sheet
That they might sleep so sweet
"Take it off, take it off,"
Know the peace my fading life provides
And wash my body when all the life has died
And in a winding sheet or vine-leaf wrap
Please bury me by
of bread and wine,
that they might drink and eat;
she spread them a bed of winding sheet,
that they might sleep so sweet.
"Take it off, take it off," cried
at my feet
There's no room at my two sides
For ladies for to sleep
Cold meal is my covering o'er
And on my winding sheet
My bed it is full low, I say
Wrap the green flag round me boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem boys
To be my winding sheet
In life l loved to see it wave
resign"
"Green grass is over our heads, mother
Cold clay is over our feet
And every tear you shed for us
It wets our winding-sheet"
to death, lay Bill.
Ice, white ice, like a winding-sheet, sheathing each smoke-grimed wall;
Ice on the stove-pipe, ice on the bed, ice gleaming over all;
ran towards the garden
Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped
young maiden for the thrill
On your tongue of stolen sweets
You will have to pay the bill
Tangled in the winding sheets
In sleep he sang to me
In
I'm flying down deserted streets
Wrapped in mother's winding sheets
Asbestos boots on flaming feet
Dreaming of forbidden treats
When uniforms
young maiden
For the thrill on your tongue of stolen sweets
You will have to pay the bill, tangled in the winding sheets
Serve the meal and serve
there)
We both ran toward the garden
Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they
messmate's arms.
We had no costly winding sheet.
We placed two round shot at his feet
And in his hammock, snug and sound:
A kingly shroud like marble bound.
on ahead,
We found the stone and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said,
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in was just an empty shell,
And how
be a quitter now.
And in his winding sheet, he will haunt that privy
seat
And only let them go when he'll allow.
Now won't there be some bleedin'
the thrill
On your tongue of stolen sweets
You will have to pay the bill
Tangled in the winding sheets!
Serve the meal and serve the maid!
Serve the master so
I'm flying down deserted streets
Wrapped in mother's winding sheets
Asbestos boots on flaming feet
Dreaming of forbidden treats
When uniforms
tied his head and we tied his feet
And around his middle a winding sheet
At every knot the sea did stir
Grew ready for the murderer
And then we saw his
ran on ahead,
We found the stone and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said,
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in was just an empty shell,
on ahead,
We found the stone and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said,
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in was just an empty shell,
And how
the Spanish Main
And brought our magic carpet
To a marble staircased plain.
Cock Robin views his frozen feet
And wraps them in a winding sheet
