Lyrics
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
Whose husbands and fathers alike
Drink black beer in the same public houses
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
Mammies and daddies and skipping ropes
Lectures from priests living in hope
They've not mistaken the brand of their coats
Paid for by their spiritual teachings
A busy year this, the streets running red
How many sent to a nuptial bed
And how many sent home to a winter of graves
And how many wait in for the slaughter
Oh the holy ground
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
Oh the holy ground
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
It's Easter again and we cannot forget
Brothers and sisters and all that was said
So practise your pipes, stand proud in the wet
But the eyes of the world are upon you
God in his mercy has given us men
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end
To the profits that pay off the lease on the land
We still send them over the water
Seventeen years and Kelly is a man
Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand
Protecting the pipers that play in the band
While the enemy waits with an army
Oh the holy ground
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
Oh the holy ground
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
On the blood and the pain and the hatred
Father walks home on the colourless night
And the organisation has blinded his sight
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
Oh the holy ground
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
Oh the holy ground
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be

This song takes me back to a child. When you went to a party with Ur parents. And all you could smell was smoke, beer and whiskey oh the days that never leave you 🙏💚
Christy is a fantastic singer/entertainer but lets not over look the other genius on the guitar that of Declan Sinnott a perfect combination to create quality music
Declan is a legend, love his accents
Nobody can sing a ballad as good as him both him and declan are absolutely amazing
I used to goto Cambridge folk festival every year till a short time back Always a great weekend. Christys been often. after the stage closes the Guinness tent syays open late and everyone gets together drinking loadsa black stuff having a jam. one time I played my Bodhran with him. I'm not that good but that night I thought I was.
This is me and my dad's song. We were blessed with meeting Christy last month in Glasgow. Absolute gentleman, spoke to us for 10 minutes and signed our DVD. Love him!
Was between my father and I but unfortunately we've faded apart and Christie breaks my heart
Ride on
i hope i dont outlive christy, this is one man i do NOT want to mourn.

Hey Christy Moore, I'm white & I'm pure
I'm straight & I'm left & I'm free
I'm a non evirinonmentalis true fundmentalist
Please don't bother me. BTW its a nice song well sung.
I'm black and I have a problem wit heterosexual whites. White privilege you be ashamed
@@glenvillesmall8684 I'm sorry to hear that. But then we all have our problems.
Go ed x Adam new acc.
i think he threw a little pro-choice message into his lyrics at 2.45, wasn't in the original. go on christy.
Christy is pro life
