Celtic Ray - Van Morrison, The Chieftans

When Lewellen 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 round

Cryin' «Heron 'a' lay»

You’ll be on the Celtic Ray

Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales

I can hear those ancient voices calling

«Children, children»

When the coalbrick man comes round

On a cold November day

You’ll be on the Celtic Ray

Are you ready?

Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Wales

I can hear those ancient voices calling

«Children, children, children»

Listen Jimmy, I wanna go home

Listen Jimmy I wanna go home

I’ve been away from the Ray too long

Listen Jimmy, I wanna go home

Listen Jimmy, I wanna go home

I’ve been away from the Ray too long

I’ve been away from the Ray too long

In the early mornin', we’ll go walkin' where

The light comes shining through

On the Celtic Ray

Are you ready?
