Last night as I lay dreaming
D BmMy way across the sea
D BmJames Mangan brought me comfort
With laudnum and poitin
BmHe flew me back to Dublin
D BmIn 1819
To a public execution
G DBeing held on Stephen's Green
D BmThe young man on the platform
Held his head up and he did sing
D BmThen he whispered hard into my ear
G DAs he handed me this ring
D Bm
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
D BmTake this snake with eyes of garnet
G DMy mother gave to me!
This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured, or
Hung or crucified
It came down through the ages
It belongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
'Till all mankind is free
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me"
He swung, his face went purple
A roar came from the crowd
But Mangan laughed and pushed me
And we got back on the cloud
He dropped me off in London
Back in this dying land
But my eyes were filled with wonder
At the ring still in my hand
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
And if you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
