boolavogue - the freedom fighters (irish rebel band) lyrics

Loading...

at boolavogue, as the sun was setting
o’er the bright may meadows of shelmaliers
a rebel hand set the heather blazing
and brought the neighbours from far and near

then father murphy from old kilcormack
spurred up the rocks with a warning cry
“arm on!” he cried, “i have come to lead you”
“for ireland’s freedom we live or die”

he led us on ‘gainst the coming soldiers
the cowardly yeomen we put to flight
’twas at the harrow, the boys of wexford
showed bookey’s regiment how men could fight

look out for hirelings, king george of england
search every kingdom where breathes a slave
for father murphy from the county wexford
sweeps o’er the land like a mighty wave

at vinegar hill by the pleasant slaney
our heroes vainly stood back to back
and the yeos at tullow took father murphy
and burnt his body upon the rack

god grant you glory, brave father murphy
and open heaven to all your men
for the cause that called you may come tomorrow
in another fight for the green again
for the cause that called you may come tomorrow
in another fight for the green again
