Celtic Ray

On his early morning rounds
"Children, children, children"
Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

Are you ready?
Where the light comes shining through
Listen Jimmy, I want to go home
Come home on the Celtic Ray

You'll be on the Celtic Ray
On a cold November day

I can hear the mothers' voices calling
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
"Children, children, children"
Come home children
"Children, children, come home children"
I can hear the mothers' voices calling
When McMannus comes around
"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray"
I've been away from the Ray too long
You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
In the early morning, we'll go walking
Are you ready? Are you ready?

Listen Jimmy, I want to go home
When the coal brick man comes 'round
On the Celtic Ray
Crying "Heron 'a' lay"
[Incomprehensible]

I can hear the mothers' voices calling

I've been away from the Ray too long
All over Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales
