Far Away Boys
Flogging Molly Song Lyrics
Well I worked on the railroad For t'pence a day Drank down one penny The other I'd save I hammered and I hammered For God knows how long Well into madness, with each setting sun I put my head down and I dreamt you were here With me by the ol' tree, where no one could care Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys Away from ya now I'm lyin' with my sweetheart In her arms I'll be found Then the sun belched upon me You were no longer here Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm The ashes were fallin' Like the snow drops of old We came to a mountain Dynamite and she'll blow A big hole in that rock Like the one in my soul Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys Away from ya now I'm lyin' with my sweetheart In her arms I'll be found We buried four workmen They dug themselves well From four empty coffins, to four early graves They're only paddys, just paddys Don't dig them too deep You'll need all your strength boys And they're replaced easily With the heat I was melting Into your sweet lips Ah, your kiss takes me back Takes me back from all this Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys Away from ya now I'm lyin' with my sweetheart In her arms I'll be found Someone said it was Christmas But not a tree was in sight The only thing growin' was my will to die Till the gaffer said 'men, your work here is done' I said 'I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for' Never again, will I smell your sweet dream But a pissed stained ol' gutter where: You lips used to be Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys Away from ya now I'm lyin' with my sweetheart In her arms I'll be found |
