(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.
(D) Silver and 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...
