The Chieftains and Van Morrison - 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
Singin', "Heron 'a' lay"
You'll be on the Celtic Ray

Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear those ancient 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?

Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales
I can hear the ancient 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

In the early morning we'll go walking
Where the light comes shining through
