the boys of kilmichael - johnny donegan with mike & leo lyrics

Loading...

while we honor in song and in story
the memory of pe-rs- and mcbride
whose names are illumined in glory

with martyrs who long since have died

forget not the boys of kilmichael
the brave boys so gallant and true
who fought neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red white and blue

on the twenty-eighth day of november
the tans left the town of macroom
they were seated in two crossley tenders
as they hurried along to their doom
they were on the high road to kilmichael
they never expected to stall
they met with tom barry’s bold column
that made a clean sweep of them all

forget not the boys of kilmichael
the brave boys so gallant and true
who fought neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red white and blue

the lorries were ours before twilight
and high over dunmanway town
their banners were raised triumphant
to show that the tans had gone down
they gathered rifles and bayonets
and they left now the glen so obscure
they never drew reign till they halted
at the faraway camp at granure

forget not the boys of kilmichael
the brave boys so gallant and true
who fought neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red white and blue

the sun in the west it was sinking
on the eve of a cold winter’s day
the tans they were eagerly waiting
they went into the spot where we lay
and over the hills went the echo
the peal of the rifle and gun
the smoke from the lorries gave tidings
that the boys of kilmichael had won

so here’s to the boys of kilmichael
the brave boys so gallant and true
who fought neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red white and blue
