God rest ye, Liam Clancy
You were a lovely boy
With magic in your music
And a way of spreading joy.
God rest ye, Liam Clancy
A true son of Erin's Isle
Your voice could break a thousand hearts
Or make a Nation smile!
God rest ye, Liam Clancy
The music was your own
I pray your Mercy Angels
Will carry you safely home.
God rest ye, Liam Clancy
I'll shed a lonely tear
We're poorer for you passing
But richer you were here!
God rest ye, Liam Clancy
Your music will not pass
And while I play your songs again
I'll raise a Parting Glass.
Rest Well, Old Friend
