ZANG TUUMB TUM DISCOGRAPHY “…or the imagination”

Come to the bower


Will you come to the Bower
Over the free boundless ocean
Where the stupendous waves
Roll in thundering motion

Where mermaids are seen
And the fierce tempest gather
To love Erin the green
The dear land of our fathers

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the Bower

Will you come to the land
Of O’Neill and O’Donnell
Lord Lucan of old
And immortal O’Connell

Where Brian chased the Danes
And St. Patrick the vermin
And whose valleys remain still
Most beautiful and charming

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the Bower

You can see Dublin city
And the fine groves of Blarney
The Bann, The Boyne
The Liffey and the lakes of Lillarney

You can ride on the tide
Over the broad majestic Shannon
You can sail round Lough Neagh
And see storied Dungannon

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the Bower

Will you come and awake
Our dear land from its slumber
And her fetters we we’ll break links
That long are encumbered

And the air will resound
With Hosannas to greet you
On the shores will be found
Gallant Irishmen will greet you

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the bower

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the bower

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the bower

Will you come, will you, will you
Will you come to the bower
