lirik lagu gary óg & sean lyons - ballad of roger casement

[verse 1]
was on good friday morning
all in the month of may
a german ship was signalling
beyond out in the bay
with twenty thousand rifles
all ready for to land
no answering signal did come from
the lonely banna strand

[verse 2]
“no signal answers from the shore,”
sir roger sadly said
“no comrades here to meet me
alas, they must be dead
but i must do my duty
so at once i mean to land”
so in a small boat rowed ashore
to lonely banna strand

[verse 3]
now, the ric were hunting for
sir roger high and low
they found him at mckenna’s fort
said they, “you are our foe”
said he, “i’m roger cas~m~nt
and i’ve come to my nativе land
and i mean to free my countryman
on the lonely banna strand”
[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
wеll they took sir roger prisoner
and sailed for london town
and in the tower they laid him
a traitor to their crown
said he, “i am no traitor”
but his trial he had to stand
for bringing german rifles to
the lonely banna strand

[verse 5]
’twas in an english prison that
they led him to his death
“i’m dying for my country”
he said with his last breath
they buried him in british soil
far from his native land
and the wild waves sing his requiem
on the lonely banna strand

[verse 6]
they took sir roger home again
in the year of sixty~five
and with his comrades of sixteen
in peace and tranquil lies
his last fond wish, it is fulfilled
for to lie in his native land
and the waves can roll in peace again
on the lonely banna strand
and the waves can roll in peace again
on the lonely banna strand
