I remember the day, it stands clear in my mind

We stood down by Dunlaoire to wave you goodbye

And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high
D MajorD            E minorEm

God you're sailing to Gallipoli to die

We only got the one letter and we knew right away

Let you go to Gallipoli to die.

And your ma often said it was Ireland's great loss

All those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the wars
     A augmentedA        A7A7     D MajorD
When the greatest war of all was at home.
