Вступление
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
'Twas on Good Friday morning
C G
All in the month of May
D7 G
A German ship was signalling
C G
Beyond out in the bay
D7 G
With twenty thousand rifles
C G
All ready for to land
G
But no answering signals did come from
C G
The lonely Banna Strand
[Verse 2]
G
No signal answers from the shore
C G
Sir Roger sadly said
D7 G
No comrades here to meet me
C G
Alas, they must be dead
D7 G
But I must do my duty
C G
And at once I mean to land
G
So in a small boat pulled ashore
C G
On the lonely Banna Strand
[Verse 3]
G
Now, the RIC were hunting for
C G
Sir Roger high and low
D7 G
They found him at McKenna's Fort
C G
Said they, "You are our foe"
D7 G
Said he, "I'm Roger Casement
C G
I came to my native land
I mean to free my countrymen
C G
On the lonely Banna Strand"
[Verse 4]
G
They took Sir Roger prisoner
C G
And sailed for London Town
D7 G
And in the Tower they laid him
C G
A traitor to the Crown
D7 G
Said he, "I am no traitor"
C G
But his trial he had to stand
For bringing German rifles to
C G
The lonely Banna Strand
[Verse 5]
G
'Twas in an English prison that
C G
They led him to his death
D7 G
"I'm dying for my country"
He said with his last breath
D7 G
They buried him in British soil
C G
Far from his native land
And the wild waves sing his requiem
C G
On the lonely Banna Strand
[Verse 6]
G
They took Sir Roger home again
C G
In the year of Sixty-Five
D7 G
And with his comrades of Sixteen
C G
In peace and tranquil lies
D7 G
His last fond wish, it is fulfilled
C G
For to lie in his native land
And the waves will roll in peace again
C G
On the lonely Banna Strand
