The Kelly Family Silver & Gold song lyrics

We had to go and leave our homes

Some died young, some died old

The roads were long, but our hearts were strong

Some went down, some beat the wrong

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Took away my son

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Took away my son

Away

Yeah, some were sailing to other lands

And we were starting to rockin' glance

We're rollin' here, we're rollin' there

Find again life to be glad

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Took away my son

Silver and gold

Silver and gold

Took away my son

Away

Until this day they had no shame

For gambler's life it's all a game

We are proud to be alive

To sing this song for father's life

Silver and gold...

We had to go and leave our homes

Some died young, some died old
