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

I was walking down by Islandbridge, just doing as I pleased
\nThis April day the sun was warm, there was but a gentle breeze
\nI wandered up the old stone steps into Phoenix Park
\nTo watch the children laugh and play in the hours before the dark
\nI strolled up by the monument and lay down on the ground
\nThen people started crying when they heard the battle sound
\nI don’t know what came over me, but for a moment I could hear
\nThe echo of a soldier’s voice that kept calling in my ear<\/p>\n

Meet me at the Pillar son, meet me there at noon
\nI need you brave young Irishmen, there is something we must do
\nMeet me at the Pillar son, still it’s not too late
\nIt’s time to sing a Freedom’s song, come soon I cannot wait<\/p>\n

I turned around to see this man, but nobody was there
\nIn the distance I could hear the drums, yet a stillness filled the air
\nI closed my eyes and in my dreams a soldier I could see
\nHe said his name was P\u00e1draig Pearse, and he kept on calling me
\nThat awful night I lay awake and many times I cried
\nI could not answer his commands, no matter how I tried
\nThere in the dark I did my best to say a silent prayer
\nThat when they take him to his fate, he’ll know how much I cared<\/p>\n
