Chorus: Don’t turn to look on the green hills of Antrim Fermanagh’s behind you, it’s time to move on Look onwards tae Glasgow and all your tomorrows The future lies there and it’s waiting for you As the green crosses over to meet with the blue And what was the sense when the wee ones were cryin’ The cries of the hungry no sense to remain No prayer could recover a sister, a brother So farewell to Fermanagh the prayin’ is done The land that you leave has had too many martyrs And too many lives that have perished in vain And too many boats slipping out from its harbours With cargoes that never came homewards again If the wings of the eagle could carry you over To the land of the prairie then surely you’d fly But an ocean so wide and a far distant country So far from your own land is no place to die
