Johnny Redmond Lyrics by Dominic Behan

Rebellion

0

[Verse 1]
When we were little children Johnny Redmond used to drool
About us being satisfied with something called 'Home Rule'
Let him go to Westminster and act the royal fool
We want a republic here in Ireland
[Chorus]
Go on, go home, ya filthy Seoinín thick
Your words alone would make a fella sick
We'll never be for royalty, they're Paddy or they're Mick
We want a republic here in Ireland
[Verse 2]
They say that Johnny Rеdmond has a head of solid brass
He says that Queen Victoria's a lovely lookin' lass
Hе must have been attracted by her big fat let it pass
We'll have a republic here in Ireland
[Chorus]
Go on, go home, ya filthy Seoinín thick
Your words alone would make a fella sick
We'll never be for royalty, they're Paddy or they're Mick
We want a republic here in Ireland
[Verse 3]
Them Germans out in Belgium now are actin' very queer
"Go on" says Johnny "lovely son, and show them Huns some fear"
And since the King is Kaiser's kin we'll fight them over here
And all for a republic here in Ireland
[Chorus]
Go on, go home, ya filthy Seoinín thick
Your words alone would make a fella sick
We'll never be for royalty, they're Paddy or they're Mick
We want a republic here in Ireland
