Tim O'brien - Mic Ryan's Lament

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   

Well my name is Mick Ryan, I'm lyin still 


In a lonely spot near where I was killed 


By a red man defending his native land 


In the place that they call Little Big Horn 





And I swear I did not see the irony 


When I rode with the Seventh Cavalry 


I thought that we fought for the land of the free 


When we rode from Fort Lincoln that morning 





And the band they played the Garryowen 


Brass was shining, flags a flowin 


I swear if I had only known 


I'd have wished that I'd died back at Vicksburg 





For my brother and me, we had barely escaped 


From the hell that was Ireland in forty eight 


Two angry young lads who had learned how to hate 


But we loved the idea of Amerikay 





And we cursed our cousins who fought and bled 


In their bloody coats of bloody red 


The sun never sets on the bloody dead 


Of those who have chosen an empire 





But we'd find a better life somehow 


In the land where no man has to bow 


It seemed right then and it seems right now 


That Paddy he died for the union 





Ah, but Michael he somehow got turned around 


He had stolen the dream that he thought he'd found 


Now I never will see that holy ground 


For I turned into something I hated 





And I'm haunted by the Garryowen 


Drums a beating, bugles blowin' 


I swear if I had only known 


I'd lie with my brother in Vicksburg 





And the band they played that Garryowen 


Brass was shin, flags a flowin' 


I swear if I had only known, I'd lie with 


my brother at Vicksburg
