A great trip for the Celtic fans in Rome when their team beat Lazio 2-1 A great celebration of music in Scholars Bar Rome by Irish Ballad Singer Damien Quinn
@@MrDeisearsenalfcIRL as the song goes: "by Jesus said Paddy I sang it so well, I think I'll get up and I'll sing it again" 🔴⚪🇮🇪 remember the North Bank terrace during winter months in the 1980s, every second person used to wear an Arsenal/Celtic bobble hat
The lyrics As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be with you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye For we must say goodbye
Shame about your Chelsea profile picture. Chelsea last played Celtic in 2006 (preseason) and a Celtic fan was knifed by Chelsea cowards. A lot of animosity between the two fanbases.
They’ll take me out at dawn and I will die, With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger, The song is based on the story of Joseph Mary Plunkett having a visit from his sweetheart (Grace Gifford) the evening before he was shot by a British firing squad for his part in the 1916 uprising. Plunkett died the following morning by firing squad and his new wife Grace Gifford lived alone until mid/late 20th century.
