lyrics

John Devoy
© 2017 Moors & McCumber
A Little Bit Marvelous/Somewhere To Go Music, ASCAP

I was born in County Kildare, just southwest of Dublin
The third child and second son of Elizabeth and William
The year was 1842, just before the hunger
My dad broke stones and worked the rails to keep us from going under

[Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone are the days of old
Go on, go on, into the fold

I grew up on tales of the failed and bloody Irish rebellions
So when I was old enough I joined up with the Fenians
And when the British Army arrested me and charged me with treason
I went away to Americay to escape my death in prison

[Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone are the days of old
Go on, go on, into the fold
I refused to sing “God save the Queen” when I was just a boy
By birth an Irish rebel, by name, John Devoy

From the slums of New York City, I started the Clan na Gael
All those years that we fought and bled, this time we couldn’t fail
So from Boston town to Frisco Bay, I crisscrossed this country
Raising funds, to buy more guns, to fight the foreign enemy
From these shores I will fight to my grave
John Devoy is my name and Ireland we’ll save
One day we’ll rise together, Erin go Bragh, Ireland forever

[Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone are the days of old
Go on, go on, into the fold
I refused to sing “God save the Queen” when I was just a boy
By birth an Irish rebel, by name, John Devoy

[Outro]
Gone are the days we rest, go on into the west, go on, go on
Gone are the days we rest, go on into the west, go on, go on

I was born in County Kildare, just southwest of Dublin
The third child and second son of Elizabeth and William
The year was 1842, just before the hunger

Moors & McCumber image

Moors & McCumber Boulder, Colorado

James Moors and Kort McCumber are Americana musicians who craft beautiful story songs that walk the line between rootsy folk and melodic pop. The two songwriters met at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, CO in 2005. Sitting around swapping songs, they each heard something in the music of the other that just fit. The two have been performing and writing together ever since. ... more
