Lyrics

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, England, and Wales I can hear those ancient voices calling "Children, children, children" When the coalbrick 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 those other 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 I've been away from the Ray too long Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales I can hear those other voices calling "Children, children, children" Come home on the Celtic Ray In the early mornin', we'll go walkin' where The light comes shining through On the Celtic Ray Are you ready?
