tim o'brien - mick ryan's lament كلمات الأغنية

well my name is mick ryan, i’m lyin still
in a lonely spot near where i was k!lled
by a red man defending his native land
in the place that they call little big h-rn

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
br-ss 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 h-ll 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 bl–dy coats of bl–dy red
the sun never sets on the bl–dy 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
br-ss was shin, flags a flowin’
i swear if i had only known, i’d lie with
my brother at vicksburg
