A Row In The Town Lyrics by Dominic Behan

Rebellion

0

[Verse 1]
I'll sing you a song of a row in the town
When the green flag went up and the Crown rag came down
'Twas the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw
And they played the best games played in Éirinn go brách
[Verse 2]
Old Kent and his comrades like lions at bay
From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay
And what was their wrath when the Englishmen saw
All the dead khaki soldiers in Éirinn go brách?
[Verse 3]
God rest gallant Pearse and brave Connolly who died
Tom Clarke, MacDonagh, MacDermott, MacBride
And here's to Seán Heuston who gave one hurrah
As he placed the machine guns for Éirinn go brách
[Verse 4]
A brave English captain was raving that day
Saying "Give me one hour and I'll blow you away!"
But a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his craw
And he died of lead poison in Éirinn go brách
[Verse 5]
Here's a health to the men of the brave rank and file
To the lion-hearted women on Éirinn's green isle
Let true men salute them in wonder and awe
For they played the best game played in Éirinn go brách
[Verse 6]
All glory to Dublin, to her's the renown
In the long generations her fame will go down
And children will tell how their forefathers saw
The red blaze of freedom o'er Éirinn go brách
