All for Me Grog Lyrics
PLACEHOLDER
Chorus:
And it's all for me grog me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
For, I spent all me tin on lassies drinkin' gin
Across the Western Ocean I must wander
Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn and the sleeves they are all torn
And the tail is lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore from me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know
Across the western Ocean I must wander
Chorus:
Where is me wife, me noggin', noggin' wife
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
For her front it is worn out and her tail is kicked about
And I'm sure she's lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
Where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the springs they are worn out and the pillows are kicked about
And the sheets are lookin' out for better weather
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
And it's all for me grog me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
For, I spent all me tin on lassies drinkin' gin
Across the Western Ocean I must wander
Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots
They're all gone for beer and tobacco
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn and the sleeves they are all torn
And the tail is lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore from me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies don't you know
Across the western Ocean I must wander
Chorus:
Where is me wife, me noggin', noggin' wife
She's all gone for beer and tobacco
For her front it is worn out and her tail is kicked about
And I'm sure she's lookin' out for better weather
Chorus:
Where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the springs they are worn out and the pillows are kicked about
And the sheets are lookin' out for better weather
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Grace
Composed by Frank and Seán O'Meara
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand,
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this Dear land
But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I love so much that all I could see his blood upon the Rose.
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Gaol
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days, they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet, all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now, I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand,
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this Dear land
But when Pádhraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I love so much that all I could see his blood upon the Rose.
Chorus:
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love, I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
