You heard the call of the pipes a calling and left this side of life
To Tir nan Og set sail and left so many here to mourn your passing
Yet on that far shore, those who have gone before we gathering
I can see Morley Balinson & hear him say "Right you are boys-
fall in"
Love and memory are greater than death...rest easy soldier laddie
