Row in the Town, A (Erin Go Bragh)

歌詞

I'll sing you a song of a row in the town When the Green flag went up and the Crown rag came down Twas the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw And they played the great game they call Erin Go Bragh God Bless galant Pearse and his comrades who died Tom Clark, MacDonagh, MacDiarmad, McBryde And here's to James Connolly who gave one Hurrah! And faced the machine guns for Erin Go Bragh Now one of ourleaders was down in rings end For the honor of Ireland to hold and defend He had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw Playing sweet Mauser music for Erin Go Bragh Old Ceannt and his comrades like lions at bay From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay, Butwhat was their often when the invaders men saw All the dead khaki soldiers in Erin Go Bragh A great foreign captain was raving that day Saying "Give me one hour and they'll blow you away" But a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his yaw, And he died of lead poisoning in Erin Go Bragh A glory to Dublin, to her do renown In the long generations her fame will go down And the children will tell how they're forefathers saw The red blaze of freedom called Erin Go Bragh
