Celtic Ray

When Lewellyn comes around

And he goes through Market Town

You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Are you ready?

When McMannus comes around

On his early morning rounds

Crying "Heron 'a' lay"

You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' 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, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' 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, England and Wales

I can hear the mothers' voices calling

"Children, children, come home children"

"Children, come home on the Celtic Ray"

"In the early morning we'll go walking

where the light comes shining through

On the Celtic Ray

Come home children

Come home on the Celtic Ray
