Dubliners Peat Bog Soldiers Lyrics

Far and wide as the eye can wander
Heath and bog are everywhere
Not a bird sings out to cheer us
Oaks are standing gaunt and the bare
We are the Peat Bog Soldiers
Marching with our spades to the bog

Up and down the guards are pacing
No one, no one can get through
Flight would mean a sure death facing
Guns and the barbed-wire greet our view

We are the Peat Bog Soldiers
Marching with our spades to the bog

But for us there is no complaining
Winter will in time be past
One day we will cry rejoicing
"Homeland, dear, you´re mine at last"

(We are the Peat Bog Soldiers
We´re marching with our spades to the bog)

Then will the Peat Bog Soldiers
March no more with the spades to the bog
