Many Young Men Of Twenty (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners

Many young men of twenty said goodbye

All that long day

From break of dawn until the sun was high

Many young men of twenty said goodbye

My boy Jimmy went that day

On the big ship sailed away

Sailed away and left me here to die

Many young men of twenty said goodbye

I met my love upon the mountain Rim

The day he left

I knew I bore a living child of him

I knew I bore a living child of him

And the child was born to me

Jimmy is gone across the sea

Jimmy is gone and here alone am I

Many young men of twenty said goodbye

My Jimmy said he'd sailed across the sea

He swore his oaths

He'd sail back home one day and marry me

He'd sail back home one day and marry me

But my Jimmy let me down

Now they mock me in the town

Oh my Jimmy please come back to me

Oh my Jimmy please come back to me

Many young man of twenty said goodbye

All that long day

From break of dawn until the sun was high

Many young men of twenty said goodbye

They left the mountains and the glens

The lasses and the fine young men

I saw the tears of every girl and boy

Many young men of twenty said goodbye
