Letra

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby

There blows a lily fair

The twilight gleam is in her eye

The night is on her hair

And like a love-sick lennan-shee

She has my heart in thrall

Nor life I owe, nor liberty

For love is lord of all

And often when the beetle's horn

Hath lulled the eve to sleep

I steal unto her shieling lorn

And through the dooring peep

There on the cricket's singing stone

She spares the bogwood fire

And hums in sad sweet undertone

The songs of heart's desire

Nor life I owe, nor liberty

For love is lord of all

For love is lord of all

Letra Oh my name it ain't nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I was taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side Oh, the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh, the country was young With God on its side The Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War, too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side The First World War, boys It came and it went The reason for fighting I never did get But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you d
