Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Civil War

I?d have to pay attention please listen unto me

I?ll tell to you a true tale of a soldier bold and brave

An ambush of some enemies dispatched him in his grave

[chorus:]

Civil war in Central Europe, civil rights are on the run

Destination is destruction, and the war goes on and on

It happened on a friday morn, so listen what they?ve done

They walked upon the mountains the battle?s just began

The colonel cried: "Turn out brave boys your hearts are void of fear!"

They shot him without warning as you shall quickly hear

[chorus]

They buried him quiet decently on a dreary summer?s day

Come all the rest of you my boys for your dead comrade, pray

Too many died for nothing to finish endless strifes

In mem?ry of the millions felt for a better life

[chorus]
