Far Away Bhoys

Far Away Bhoys - Irish Celtic Music/Celtic Spirit

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 lying with my sweetheart

In her arms i'll be found

Then the sun belched upon me

You were no longer here

Lying in your place was my hammer and my gear

So i stamped out the fire that kept us both warm

The ashes were falling

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 lying 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 lying 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 lying with my sweetheart

In her arms i'll be found

Far away boys far away boys

Away from ya now

I'm lying with my sweetheart

In her arms i'll be found

I'm lying' with my sweetheart

In her arms i'll be found
