Many Young Men of Twenty

Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 On that long day
 From break of dawn until the sun was high
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 They left the mountains and the glens
 The lassies and the fine young men
 I saw a tear in every girl and boy
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Last night I held my darling in my arms
 Farewell, my love
 It breaks my heart to see you cry
 Farewell my love for maybe I will die
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 My boy Willie sailed away
 And the big ship went away
 He sailed away and left me here to cry
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 On that long day
 From break of dawn until the sun was high
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 I wish that I was back again
 Beside my darling in the glen
 We'd sit and watch the small birds as they fly
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 On that long day
 From break of dawn until the sun was high
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
 Many young men of twenty said goodbye
