The Irish Rovers - Many Young Men of Twenty lyrics

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 They left the mountains and the glens The la**ies 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 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 My boy Willie sailed away And the big ship went away He sailed away and left me here to cry Many young men of twenty said goodbye 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 I wish that I was back again Beside my darling in the glen We'd sit and watch the small birds as they fly Many young men of twenty said goodbye 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
