The Kelly Family - Silver & Gold

^D We had to go and ^G leave our homes ^A Some died young and ^D some died old. ^D The roads were long, but ^G our hearts were strong, ^A Some went down to ^D beat the wrong.

^D Silver and gold, silver and gold ^G Took away your ^A son. ^D Silver and gold, silver and gold ^G Took away our ^A son, away.

^D Some were sailing to ^G other lands ^A And we were starting to the ^D rocking glens. ^D Roving here, ^G roving there, ^A Found again, love ^D to be there.

^D Silver and gold... ^D Until this day they ^G had no shame, ^A For gamblers' life, it's ^D all a game. ^D We are proud to ^G be alive, ^A To sing this song for ^D father's life.
