"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray"
On a cold November day
When the coal brick man comes 'round
"Children, children, children"
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
All over Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
[Incomprehensible]
In the early morning, we'll go walking
On his early morning rounds
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
Where the light comes shining through
I've been away from the Ray too long
Come home children
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
"Children, children, children"
Come home on the Celtic Ray
"Children, children, come home children"
I've been away from the Ray too long
Listen Jimmy, I want to go home
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
When McMannus comes around
Are you ready?
Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
Listen Jimmy, I want to go home
Crying "Heron 'a' lay"
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
On the Celtic Ray
