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

In a dreary Brixton prison
\nWhere an Irish rebel lay
\nBy his side a priest was kneeling
\n‘Ere his soul should pass away
\nThen he faintly murmered “Father”
\nAs he clasped him by the hand
\n“Tell me this before I die
\nShall my soul pass through Ireland?<\/p>\n

Shall my soul pass through old Ireland
\nPass through Cork City grand
\nShall I see the old cathedral
\nWhere St. Patrick took his stand
\nShall I see that little chapel
\nWhere I pledged my heart and hand
\nThen Father tell me truly
\nShall my soul pass through Ireland?<\/p>\n

‘Twas for loving dear old Ireland
\nIn this prison cell I lie
\n‘Twas for loving dear old Ireland
\nIn this foreign land I’ll die
\nWill you meet my little daughter
\nWill you make her understand
\nThen Father tell me truly
\nShall my soul pass through Ireland?”<\/p>\n

With his heart pure as a lily
\nAnd his body sanctified
\nIn that dreary British prison
\nThat brave Irish rebel died
\nPrayed the priest that wish be granted
\nAs in blessing raised his hand
\n“Father grant this brave man’s prayer
\nMay his soul pass through Ireland”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
