Tommy Makem That Land I Love So Well Lyrics

Come with me and I'll take you to the land of my fathers
Where wild heather mountains look out to the sea
You will find hearts as kind as the soft winds of summer
And a warm welcome waiting for you and for me
Chorus:
In that land of song and story
In that land where legends dwell
In that land enshrined in glory
In that land, that land I love so well
Let your feet walk the green hills where heros have
battled
For freedom and honour and glory and right

Where the birds sing the praises of men who were gallant The first in the fray and the last to take flight
Chorus
You can roam the sweet meadows when the flowers are all
blooming
Or fish the bright waters forgetting all care
You can sing with the lark when she welcomes the morning
Or hunt for the pheasant, the fox and the hare
Chorus
If your bones they are weary and your mind is uneasy
The struggle with life, it is taking its toll
Come with me to a green land of laughter and legend
There's rest for the body and peace for the soul
Chorus
