My Last Farewell + OnScreen Lyrics--Barleycorn

[@malachygoodman3491]

When one just listens to this song while driving through Ireland it's a beautiful country and tho it's a ballad about of a young man fighting for his country's freedom it's so understanding why he's prepared to give his life for that cause ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won’t be home There’s something that I have to do and I must do alone They have took me and they’ve put me in this lonely prison cell Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál I have no words to tell you how much I’ll miss you all And though I may not show it you know I’ve loved you well So in my final letter I will bid my last farewell Dearest brother won’t you take good care of all the folks for me Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free I was happy when you stood by me in all that we’ve been through No one has ever had so true a brother such as you Dearest mother it’s so very sad that now we have to part To understand the reasons would trouble your poor heart I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny To die a true brave soldier so that one day you’d be free

It’s so sad.... he didn’t know that his brother Willie was being executed as well. Some mother... the poor woman. Heartbreaking stuff and true.. unfortunately and not a million years ago just over a hundred 😢😮

So poignant, especially considering that his brother was murdered too. And yes, I do know that this wasn't written by Pádraig Pearse.

But he did write a letter to his mother on the eve of his death. There used to be copies of it for sale...

[@nickflynn7839]

Yes it true. The ballad stays true to the contents of the heartbreaking letter.
