Oh I wish that we were geese, night and morn, (2x)
Oh I wish that we were geese
Till the hour of our release
When we' d live and die in peace, stuffing corn, stuffing corn
When we' d live and die in peace, stuffing corn.
Oh, they'll grind us into dust, over here (2x)
Oh, they'll grind us into dust,
But the Lord in whom we trust
Will return us crumb for crust, over here, over here
Will return us crumb for crust, over here.
"Written by singer, songwriter, and fellow patriot of
mine. His name is Eamonn Mc Girr and he hails from Derry in Northern
Ireland. He now lives in Loudenville NY. He has recorded the song in the
past and has just re-recorded it on a CD for September 1996 release (benefits to the Center for the Disabled in Albany). Eamonn's
daughter Marina has Cerebral Palsy. Eamonn just recently broke the world
record for non-stop singing--11 days--to benefit the Center. He can be
reached at (518) 463 - 7440 and I can be reached at (518) 482-5664.
I helped put a www page together for Eamonn's world record."
