Come On Home, My Love LutheranSatire 2023-03-17 | A wee bit ago, I decided to write the saddest Irish ballad that has ever been written in the history of civilization.I succeeded. And as a St. Patrick's Day gift, I now share it with you. This song was sung by the very talented young Miss Ryenne Bair. The pictures were created by giving increasingly chaotic prompts to an AI image generation bot.This video is not at all theological in nature, but I get to do that once every 13 years, and if you don't like it, I will pelt you with sheep kidneys on the sands of Darnadoogle by the Sea.Lyrics:It was here at the cove, feels so long agoWhen we danced in the low evening tideI was clumsy and brittle, you laughed just a littleAnd asked me if I’d be your brideBut you said we’d need treasure before we could tetherAnd hired your gun to that shipAnd as I wept goodbye, you sang out “Don’t you cryIn a year I’ll be kissing your lips”Come on home, my love, come on home, my loveCome and make me your woman at lastKiss me on the shore. That’s the vow you sworeAnd the year of your wand’rin’ has passedThough you tarried a while, still I couldn’t help smileWhen you wrote of your days on the seaAll the glory you sought, all the battles you foughtAll the money you stored up for meBut I already said yes, I can wear Mother’s dressI don’t need pockets brimming with wealthAnd I don’t need a ring. I’d be rich as a queenIf only you’d give me yourselfCome on home, my love, come on home, my loveCome and make me your woman at lastKiss me on the shore. That’s the vow you sworeBut a year and another has passedIt was early September when I got the letterYour captain had vowed you he’d writeOnly two hundred miles from our home on this isleWhen the cannonballs ripped through the nightAnd I heard you were brave. There were many you savedFrom the bullets, the fire, and heatAnd he said without shame that you called out my nameWhen the wreck pulled you into the deepCome on home, my love, come on home, my loveCome and make me your woman at lastKiss me on the shore. That’s the vow you sworeDon’t let another day passCome on home, my love, come on home, my loveDon’t forget your promise to meI’m standing on this shore. Keep the vow you swore.Don’t let the last thing you kiss be the floor of the sea
