Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Far distant, far distant lies Foyers the brave,
\nNo tombstone memorial shall hallow his grave,
\nHis bones they are scattered on the rude soil of Spain
\nFor young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain<\/p>\n

He’s gane frae the shipyard that stands on the Clyde
\nHis hammer is silent, his tools laid aside
\nTo the wide Ebro river young Foyers has gane
\nTo fecht by th side o’ the people o’ Spain<\/p>\n

There wasna his equal at work or at play
\nHe was strang in the union till his dying day
\nHe was grand at the footba’, at the dance he was braw
\nO! young Jamie Foyers was the floo’er o’ them a’<\/p>\n

He cam’ frae the shipyard, took off his working claes
\nOh, I mind that time weel in the lang simmer days
\nHe said, “Fare ye weel, lassie, I’ll come back again”
\nBut young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain<\/p>\n

In the fight for Belchite he was aye to the fore
\nHe focht at Grandesa till he couldna fight more
\nHe lay owre his machine-gun wi’ a bullet in his brian
\nAnd young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
