Avondale

By: Dominic~Behan

Chorus 1

Oh have you been to Avondale And wandered in the lovely vale Where tall trees whisper all the tale Of Avondale's proud eagle

Verse 1

Where fame and ancient glory fate Such was the land where he was laid Like Christ was thirty pieces paid For Avondale's proud eagle

Verse 2

Long years that green and lovely vale Has nursed Parnell, our grandest Gael And cursed the land that has betrayed Fair Avondale's proud eagle
