Someday soon
The eldersSomeday soon will be time to tell the story
How we hoisted up the sails boys what else could we do
Set the wheel between the sky and the glory
Someday soon I'll find the kin that I'm suppose to be
If the whiskey and the cigarettes don't get me first
Someday soon you'll be as free as the ghost of Henry Lee
And you'll find the man to drown that mighty thirst.
A thousand miles from any land
Rebels each and every man
What else are we good for but laying down in vain
Someone said the king was dead they put a price on every head
Never are we goin' back again
Someday soon I'll be home in that County Wicklow town
Someday soon the queen will never find me
If we make it all the way we'll collect a little pay
Keep a bullet in my pocket to remind me
We'll be at home in the promised land
Just like the one that I had planned
Be pullin' on the line my friend there's weather off the bow
You're telling me the end was near goin' on now twenty years
But here we are still standing some how
Here we are still standing some how
