Sinead O'Connor & the Chieftains- The Foggy Dew

As down the glen one Easter morn To a city fair rode I, Their armed lines of marching men In squadrons passed me by. No pipe did hum, no battle drum Did sound its loud tattoo But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells Rang out in the foggy dew. Right proudly high in Dublin town Hung they out a flag of war. 'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar. And from the plains of Royal Meath Strong men came hurrying through; While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns Sailed in through the foggy dew. The bravest fell, and the requiem bell Rang mournfully and clear For those who died that Easter-tide In the springing of the year. While the world did gaze with deep amaze At those fearless men but few Who bore the fight that freedom's light Might shine through the foggy dew. And back through the glen I rode again And my heart with grief was sore For I parted then with valiant men Whom I never shall see more But to and fro In my dreams I go And I kneel and pray for you For slavery fled Oh, glorious dead When you fell in the foggy dew

3Elvis there is not much love lost between the English and irish ,and 900 years of History takes a long time to heal.Personally I have never met anyone irish who I disliked,although I have visited Ireland only once.

yea I know I caught myself on that a few days ago when watching this vid. Thank you though, I have the Long Black Veil but the Self title was on my CD rack, a mistake people make em. Way to let me know so un-ruefully.

I´m sorry, but you are wrong here.

The CD is called "Chieftains - The long black veil" and was made in 1995. It contains 13 songs and the Chieftains are there with Sting, Mick Jagger, Sinead O´Connor, Van Morrisson, Mark Knopfler, Ry Cooder, Marianne Faithfull and Tom Jones. They do "The Rocky Road to Dublin" with the Rolling Stones! This rehearsal of "The Foggy Dew" is better, though, than the recorded version on the CD.
