cumann na mban - derek warfield & the young wolfe tones lyrics

[verse 1]
all honour to óglaigh na héireann
all praise to the men of our race
in the days of betrayal and slavery
saved ireland from ruin and disgrace
but do not forget in your praising
of them and the deeds they have done
their faithful and true*hearted comrades
the soldiers of cumann na mban

[chorus]
then here’s to the women of ireland
who marched without fear in the van
old ireland is proud of her daughters
hurrah for brave cumann na mban!

[verse 2]
when you honour in song and in story
the fighters who shouldered a gun
and recked not that death’s blow should reach them
it’s so ireland’s freedom be won
forget not the women of ireland
who stood without terror or dread
beside those who battled so bravely
made sh*llfire and deluge of lead
[chorus]
then here’s to the women of ireland
who marched without fear in the van
old ireland is proud of her daughters
hurrah for brave cumann na mban!

[verse 3]
no great*hearted daughter of ireland
who died for her sake long ago
who stood in the gap of her danger
defying the sasanach foe
’twas ever more valiant and worthy
of glory in high*sounding rann
than the comrades of óglaigh na héireann
the soldiers of cumann na mban!

[chorus]
then here’s to the women of ireland
who marched without fear in the van
old ireland is proud of her daughters
hurrah for brave cumann na mban!

[verse 4]
our tricolour few on the breezes
proclaiming o’er dublin’s old town
that the men of the nation awakened
would die ere ’twas ever hauled down
and into our ranks came the heroines
like the women of limerick of old
and the smiles made the weakest a hero
write their fame, boys, in letters of gold
[chorus]
then here’s to the women of ireland
who marched without fear in the van
old ireland is proud of her daughters
hurrah for brave cumann na mban!

[verse 5]
through the fight in the old gpo boys
take the grief as the flames touch the sky
we lit there a fire that will blaze, boys
’til the power of the saxon shall die
and we’ll cherish forever her story
while the pages of history we scan
of the valiant brave daughters of erin
the soldiers of cumann na mban!

[chorus]
then here’s to the women of ireland
who marched without fear in the van
old ireland is proud of her daughters
hurrah for brave cumann na mban!
