When Lewellyn comes around
And he goes through Market Town
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?
When McManus comes around
On his early morning rounds
Crying "Herrin' Olay"
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear those ancient voices calling
"Children, children, children"
When the coal brick man comes 'round
On a cold November day
You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Wales
I can hear those ancient voices calling
"Children, children, children"
Listen Jimmy, I want to go home.
Listen Jimmy, I want to go home.
I've been away from the Ray too long
I've been away from the Ray too long
All over Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear those ancient voices calling
"Children, children, come home children"
"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray"
I've been away from the Ray too long
In the early morning we'll go walking
Where the light comes shining through
On the Celtic Ray
Are you ready?
Come home children
Come home on the Celtic Ray
