Will You Come To The Bower

(Trad. / New Words & Music: arr. Andy Irvine)

Will you come to the bower o'er the free boundless ocean

Where the stupendous waves roll in thundering motion

Where the mermaids are seen and the fierce tempest gathers

To loved Erin the green, the dear land of our fathers

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower

Will you come to the land of O'Neill and O'Donnell

Robert Emmett and Wolfe Tone and the immortal Dan O'Connell

Where King Brian drove the Danes and St. Patrick the vermin

And whose valleys remain still most beautiful and charming

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower

You can visit Benburb and the storied Blackwater

Where Owen Roe met Munroe and his Chieftains did slaughter

Where the lambs sport and play on the mossy all over

From these bright golden views to enchanting Rostrevor

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower

You can visit Dublin City and the fine groves of Blarney

The Bann, Boyne and Liffey and the lakes of Killarney

You may ride on the tide o'er the broad majestic Shannon

Or sail around Lough Neagh and see storied Dungannon

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower

You can visit New Ross, gallant Wexford and Gorey

Where the green was last seen by proud Saxon and Tory

Where the ground is sanctified by the blood of each free man

Where they died satisfied their enemies they would not run from

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower

Will you come and awake our lost land from its slumber

And together we will break chains that long have encumbered

And the air will resound with Hosannahs to meet you

On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to greet you

Will you come, will you, will you, will you come to the bower
