lyrics

You came out of nowhere and you're leaving today
With a wave of your hand heading off for the train
There's a gallon of Paddy swimming in your blood
Though you say you've had nothing to drink but a sup
All the women are weeping and holding their heads
For they know that there's something inside you've not said
And the men of the town they are saddened indeed
For the loss of their leader the voice of the tribe

Why do you leave oh gra mo chroi
Do we not give you much love and happiness here
And who will speak for us all when your away
Your the flesh and the blood and the voice of the tribe

You'll seek out the parallax at the end of the track
You'll make vows and break them and then you'll come back
Hear all the gin voices tell spurious tales
By campfires a burning in the high up sierras
And we might be gone love we might have passed away
Ah when you return to your old home someday
Like in Sally and Danny we'll be under the mud
All a weeping and a wailing for the voice of the tribe

Why do you leave oh gra mo chroi
Do we not give you much love and happiness here
And who will speak for us all when your away
Your the flesh and the blood and the voice of the tribe
