Wolfe Tones singing Boston Rose. 1989.
Tralee Kerry. Written by Liam Reilly.
Now the autumn leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone
and the children they have all gone back to school
and my life is as it was before, I work eight hours a day
but the company's still making all the rules
But there's a girl in Massachusettes, south of Boston town she said
and her lovely face is with me all the day
sure I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head
and I took her heart and she stole mine away
Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose
goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes
There's a song we sang all summer of the bars in Dublin town
I can hear it on the fac'try radio
and the feelings I remember, when I hear that simple tune
make me wonder if it really happens so
for we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone
and she had to fly across the ocean wide
so goodbye my Boston beauty until we meet again
And I'll keep the fire burning deep inside
Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose
goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes
and some nights when I'm drinkin' and my friends have gathered 'round
well just for fun someone brings out your name
well I smile there with the rest of them but I can't hear a sound
I love you but to them it's all the same
and nights when I'm alone my love you come into my mind
and visions flash upon that in-ward eye
well I'll watch the moon there up above And I'll leave this earth behind
and I'll call to you as I go sailing by
Goodbye my Boston beauty farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you, no threat to you I'll pose
goodbye my Boston Beauty, farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here but I know, that's the way life goes
I wish that you were here so farwell
my Boston Rose.

South of Boston town. Southie we are so proud of our heritage. My dad came from Lismore down the south. Go home frequently to see the family. My dad has now passed a year this month and he loved Ireland and brought my sisters and I very pro Irish. I love being American but my heart will always be in Ireland. This summer my sister and I are going to Ireland to spread his ashes man do I miss him and the times we had at our family in Ireland homes. My favorite band of all time. Bless everyone.

My grandpa moved from Cork to Quincy as a young man, and met a yankee girl from Beacon Hill. Apparently her parents weren't happy with the arrangement, but the two of them married and stayed together the rest of their lives, having eight children together including their eldest daughter, my mother. They died six months apart, both living to see the first half-dozen or so of their great-grandchildren. This song's always reminded me of them.

Hi my grandfather lived in Lismore County Waterford. Great Boston Irish beginnings from Lismore, Ballyduff, and Cappaquinn Great Beginings of the First Irish political machine. Look it up! He was a founder of the Transit Workers Union in NY C and helped more Irish live the American dream than anyone I know. Up the Deis!

Can't listen to this without it bringing me back to The Fireside Pub in the Bronx in the 90s. Unfortunately, due to the free-flowing Guinness,I can't remember much more about my frequent visits there other than a few songs on the jukebox. Damn, I miss that place.

@brianbrosnan6231 4 жыл бұрын

There is no better place to barhop, then Katonah Ave!! About 8 years ago, I was home on leave from the Marine Corps and I started off at The Fireside Pub at 11am (the day/night before, I had pulled an all-dayer/nighter in Kingsbridge section of the Bronx). Wolfe Tones were blasting on the jukebox from the start. I left there around 2pm and hit the other 12 bars on that block for the rest of the day, and returned to the Fireside around 9pm and the pints were still flowing and the Wolfe Tones were still blasting! I bellied up to the bar and that is the last thing I remembered until I was woken up by the bartender at 2:30am. I was embarrassed as i asked the bartender how long was i sleeping...(i was thinking maybe a half hour) he said "not long....bout 5 and a half hours..." Hahahahaa! He asked me if i wanted the rest of the beer that i had bought at 9:00!! He pulled a beer out of the cooler that had 2 sips missing! Hahaa! He laughed and said i was fine and said welcome home, and he poured me a pint of Guinness on the house! Great pub it is! Cheers to the Bronx Irish!

sainglain That's what they are playing on. They are Yankie scammers. I used to love this group until the penny dropped. They're all basically about the Ireland-US link - because that is where the money is. However, it is not the Irish story. If they were genuine Irish balladiers they would have a much bigger repertoire of songs about England, Scotland, Australia, etc - especially Australia where the Irish actually had most cultural/political impact in the "new" world.

@williammcaneaney3523 9 жыл бұрын

John of Brissie you must be joking, the Wolfe Tones are 100% Irish band and named after a famous Irish rebel and virtually everything they sing is Irish rebel. Boston rose is probably the only romantic song they do
