The Machair flowers are white

Run across the golden sands

Just like the Rodal tide



Let Winter pass unnoticed boys

The warm rain of the Gael

Has fallen like a tide today

In the storm of Passchendaele



Chorus...

Look away Brave Boys

No shame for you to run away

Look away Brave Boys

Just be your father's son

Look away Brave Boys

No battles can be won today

Look away Brave Boys

Just be your mother's son



Petals they are falling boys

Within a red hot blaze

You'll take their kiss of liberty

And they'll steal your loving days



And then they'll drink Maclean wine

boys With freedom's clapping hands

When all the Aros flowers boys

Lie in the fields of France



Chorus...
