Christy Moore - Avondale lyrics

rate me

Oh have you been to Avondale and lingered in her lovely

Vale

Where tall trees whisper low the tale of avondale's proud

Eagle

Where pride and ancient glory fade

Such was the land where he was laid

Like Christ was thirty pieces paid

For Avondale's proud eagle

Oh have you been to Avondale and lingered in her lovely

Vale

Where tall trees whisper low the tale of avondale's proud

Eagle

Long years that green and lovely glade

Have lost for now our grandest Gael

And Cursed the land that has betrayed

Our Avondale's proud eagle
