Celtic Ray

When Llewellyn comes around

And he goes through market town

You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Are you ready?

(Are you ready?)

When McManus comes around

On his early morning round

Cryin' "Herring olay"

You'll be on the Celtic Ray

(Are you ready?)

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' voices calling

"Children, children, children"

When the coal-brick man comes round

On a cold November day

(You'll be on) You'll be on the Celtic Ray

(Are you ready?) Are you ready?

Are you ready?

[Pipes Solo][Chorus]

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' voices calling

"Children, children, children"

Listen, Jimmy (Listen, Jimmy), I wanna go home

Listen, Jimmy (Listen, Jimmy), I wanna go home

I've been away (Too long) from the Ray too long

I've been away from the (Too long), from the Ray too long

All over Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' voices calling

"Children, children (Children), come home, children (Children)"

"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray" (Children, children)

In the early morning we'll go walkin' where the light comes shining through

On the Celtic Ray (Children, children)

(I've been away too long) Oh, children (Children)

(I've been away too long, children)

(I've been away too long, children)

(I've been away too long)
