the rebel of the rosses - the irish brigade lyrics

[verse 1]
in the rebel heart of donegal
where rosses rocky shore
for martyrs lie in hero’s grave
and our cherries never more
they kept the cost close to their heart
while others turned away
they played their part and did not [?]
to serve the i.r.a!

[chorus]
i am a rosses rebel
and proud to be the same
for one and all, here in donegal
we reject the saxon claim!
we’ve played our part in freedom’s fight
we’ll play our part again
we’ll never seize until we see
our nation free again!
[verse 2]
we’ll not forget [?] o’boyle
we’ll speak his name with pride
and here’s to neil plunkett boyle
in the wicklow hills he died
[?] gave us eoin boyle
who never feared the foe
and the finest flower from cumann na mban
was merry mcbride from dunloe!

[verse 3]
you rebels of the rosses
you live in memory yet
you kept the green flag flying high
and we owe you a death
high in the hills of donegal
you kept alive the flame
and freedom’s light still burning bright
though you’re in a martyr’s grave!
[chorus]
i am a rosses rebel
and proud to be the same
for one and all, here in donegal
we reject the saxon claim!
we’ve played our part in freedom’s fight
we’ll play our part again
we’ll never seize until we see
our nation free again!
no, we’ll never seize until we see
our nation free again!
