Flogging Molly - Far Away Boys Lyrics
Well I worked on the railroadFor t'pence a dayDrank down one pennyThe other I'd saveI hammered and I hammeredFor God knows how longWell into madness, with each setting sunI put my head down and I dreamt you were hereWith me by the ol' tree, where no one could careFar Away Boys, Far Away BoysAway from ya nowI'm lyin' with my sweetheartIn her arms I'll be foundThen the sun belched upon meYou were no longer hereLyin' in your place was my hammer and my gearSo I stamped out the fire that kept us both warmThe ashes were fallin'Like the snow drops of oldWe came to a mountainDynamite and she'll blowA big hole in that rockLike the one in my soulFar Away Boys, Far Away BoysAway from ya nowI'm lyin' with my sweetheartIn her arms I'll be foundWe buried four workmenThey dug themselves wellFrom four empty coffins, to four early gravesThey're only paddys, just paddysDon't dig them too deepYou'll need all your strength boysAnd they're replaced easilyWith the heat I was meltingInto your sweet lipsAh, your kiss takes me backTakes me back from all thisFar Away Boys, Far Away BoysAway from ya nowI'm lyin' with my sweetheartIn her arms I'll be foundSomeone said it was ChristmasBut not a tree was in sightThe only thing growin' was my will to dieTill the gaffer said 'men, your work here is done'I said 'I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for'Never again, will I smell your sweet dreamBut a pissed stained ol' gutter where:You lips used to beFar Away Boys, Far Away BoysAway from ya nowI'm lyin' with my sweetheartIn her arms I'll be found
