Lyrics Without The Cords
In the year of forty-seven
I saw and end to what had been
Saw my neighbours, friend and ]loved ones
Fade before
me like a dream
Chorus
On this ship I cross the ocean
Sailing on the raging foam
To the land of my tomorrows
Far from my native home
Now the land is cold and blighted
Now the crop has failed again
There’s no food upon the table
Fear
lives in the hearts of men
Chorus
There’s a cloud upon the mountain
And the rain is falling free
There’s a shadow in the valley
Where
my cabin used to be
Chorus
All my comrades they have fallen
By the roadside they have died
In the fields and in the hedgerows
Their hungry
bones lie side by side
Chorus
