freedom fighter's medley - the irish brigade lyrics

[verse 1]
the irish freedom fighters, boys, have fought in hill and glen
from tone through pe*rs* and connolly and our brave h*block men
mcswiney taught them how to die, with pride their hearts did swell

[chorus (1)]
in england’s concentration camps, in that dark h*block cell

[verse 1]
oh father why are you so sad on this bright easter morn’
when irish men are proud and they’re glad of the land where they were born
my son i see in memory to a far off distant day when being just a lad like you i joined the ira

[chorus (2)]
where are the lads who stood with mе when history was made?
oh gra mo croidhe, i long to see thе boys of the old brigade

[verse 2]
it was on a dreary new year’s eve the shades of night fell down
when a lorry load load of volunteers approached the border town
there were men from dublin and from cork, fermanagh and tyrone
ah, but the leader was a limerick man, seán south from garryowen

[verse 4]
no more we will hear the seagull’s cry
o’er the murmurring shannon tide
for he fell beneath a northern sky
brave hanlon by his side
he has gone to join the gallant band of plunkett, pe*rs* and tone
another martyr for old ireland
seán south from garryowen
[verse 5]
fight on you irish volunteers for victory is sure!
in battle or internment camp your courage will endure
they will never take your dignity, tough naked starved and pale

[chorus(1)]
in england’s concentration camps, in that dark h*block cell

[chorus (1)]
in england’s concentration camps, in that dark h*block cell
