Silver & Gold
(Kelfam/Kelfam)
(Lead Vocal: Johnny/Paddy)
We had to go and leave our homes
Some died young some died old
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong
Some went down to beat the wrong
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away your son (repeat verse)
And some left sailing to other lands
And we were starving through the rocking glens
Roving here, roving there
Found again, love to be there
Silver and gold...
Until this day we had no shame
For gamblers' life, it's all a game
We are proud to be alive
To sing this song for father's life
Silver and gold...
We had to go and leave our homes
Some died young some died old
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong
Some went down, oh, we beat the wrong
Silver and gold...
