1. A Song

   “At a cottage door one wintry night as the snow lay on the ground”

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   At a cottage door one wintry night as the snow lay on the ground
   A youthful Irish soldier to the mountains he was bound.
   His mother stood beside him saying "you'll win my boy dont fear."
   And with loving arms around his neck she tied his bandolier
   "Good bye God bless you mother dead I hope your heart wont pain,
   But pray to God your soldier boy your son you'll see again
   For when I'm out in a firing line it will be your source of joy
   To know you're the mother of an Irish soldier boy.
   When the fighting it was over and the flag of truce was raised.
   The leader ordered fire to cease, old Ireland stood amazed.
   A comrade bent at a cottage door with a note of pride and joy.
   With mournful news and sad appeal of an Irish soldier boy.
   A long fairwell to Donegal Kilkenny and Mayo
