where the lambs skip and play on the mossy all over
Will you come, will you come
on the shore will be found gallant irishmen to greet you
On the shore will be found gallant irishmen to greet you, to loved erin the green, will you come and awake our dear land from its slumber
will you come to the land of o neill and o donnell
Patrick the vermin, where the mermaids are seen and the wild tempest gather, will you come
Will you come to the bower, where the green was last seen by proud saxon and tory
links that long are encumbered
Will you come to the bower, where stupendous waves roll in thundering motion
the dear land of our fathers
And the air will resound with hosannahs to greet you, where stupendous waves roll in thundering motion
you can visit benburb and the storied blackwater
Will you come to the land of o neill and o donnell, on the shore will be found gallant irishmen to greet you
Will you come, where they died satisfied that their enemies they would t run from Bower, and her fetters we ll break
of lord lucan of old and the immortal o connell
And her fetters we ll break, gallant wexford and gorey
Where the mermaids are seen and the wild tempest gather, gallant wexford and gorey, links that long are encumbered
will you come to the bower
Where owen roe met munroe and his chieftains did slaughter, from those bright golden views to enchanting rostrevor, will you come to the bower
On the shore will be found gallant irishmen to greet you, the pillar and the lakes of killarney
My parents went to see them in 1970 in Canada, and then after the bar closed brought the band (The Dubliners) home with them to Detroit. Even though I was very young, I'll never forget it, my Father was forever thrilled.
The. Legondary Dubliners they knew mucic melody rythem and harmony they could all sing play and perform i can't understand why. Their story has not been turned into film whet a great story it would be . Jmckenna London.
Just played "Will You Come To The Bower" on my fiddle at Granbury's ,(Texas) "Celebration of Texas' Independence Day. My father in law, a Historian on Texas Heritage, informed me prior, on a quick history note about this Irish tune. It was played at the Battle of San Jancinto used as a disguise to trick the Mexican Army in getting them to assume the song was just being played causually around near their camp ground, but Instead, they used the relaxed melody in a 'surprise attack' on the unanticipated Mexican Army, and thus winning "The Battle of San Jacinto" and claiming Victory for our great State of Texas' Independence on March 2, 1864?
