Irish Waltz Lyrics - Pour Me A Drink - Edwina Hayes

Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old 

Dawn is falling on the valley below 

Today you must leave for a far distant shore 

Oh wake up, the night is old 

Hearts will be breaking by the harbour today 

Children will be crying and mothers will pray 

As sweethearts and fathers and sons sail away 

Oh hearts will be breaking today 

When you're save over the ocean send back news to me 

From the place you'll be working across the great sea 

For its patiently waiting here for you I'll be 

When youre safe there, send back news to me 

On that fine day you come home back to us in spring 

Drink will be flowing and the churchbells will ring 

There'll be money a plenty and the children will sing 

On that fine day you come home in spring 

Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old 

Dawn is falling on the valley below 

Today you must leave for a far distant shore 

Oh wake up, the night is old
