Irish Song Lyrics

My Last farewell (Sean/Frank O'Meara) 
Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won't be home There's something that I have to do and I must do alone They have took me and they've put me in this lonely prison cell Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell 
Chorus So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michal I have no words to tell you how much I miss you all And though I may not show it you know I loved you well So in my final letter I will bid my last farewell 
Dearest brother won't you take good care of all the folks for me Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free I was happy when you stood by me in all that we've been through No one has ever had so true a brother such as you 
Chorus 
Dearest mother it's so very sad that now we have to part To understand the reason would trouble your poor heart I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny To die a true brave soldier so that one day you'd be free 
Chorus
