Tommy Makem - That Land I Love So Well lyrics

Come with me and I'll take you to the land of my fathers Where wild heather mountains look out to the sea You will find hearts as kind as the soft winds of summer And a warm welcome waiting for you and for me [Chorus] In that land of song and story In that land where legends dwell In that land enshrined in glory In that land, that land I love so well Let your feet walk the green hills where heros have battled For freedom and honour and glory and right Where the birds sing the praises of men who were gallant The first in the fray and the last to take flight [Chorus] You can roam the sweet meadows when the flowers are all blooming Or fish the bright waters forgetting all care You can sing with the lark when she welcomes the morning Or hunt for the pheasant, the fox and the hare [Chorus] If your bones they are weary and your mind is uneasy The struggle with life, it is taking its toll Come with me to a green land of laughter and legend There's rest for the body and peace for the soul [Chorus]
