| Irish' Music |
| The Boys From County Cork |
| It was once said to me, and has been voiced by many - that the only difference between the Scots and the Irish is that the Scots stopped fighting. My response to my Irish friends is that we stopped fighting for good reason. After putting OUR king on THEIR throne, WE thought WE had won ! Sadly the Scots have now spent four centuries wondering what happened ?? Perhaps NOW is the time to peacefully right the wrongs of the past. |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
You've read in history pages the heroes of great fame the deeds they done and battles won And how they made their name. But the boys who made the history for the Orange, White and Green, were the boys who died in Dublin town in 1916. Chorus: Meet the boys from Kerry, take the boys from Clare From Dublin Wicklow Donegal and the boys from old Kildare Some came from a and across the sea, from Boston and New York But the boys who beat the Black and Tans Were the boys from County Cork In Ireland's rebel county our heros fought and died Tom Barry and his gallant crew filled Irish hearts with pride From Skibereen to Bandon, to Bantry by the sea Our brave young Michale Collins fought for Ireland's libery Well Cork came us McSweeney, A martyr for to die And Wicklow gave us Dwyer in those days now long gone by And Dublin gave us Padraic Pearse, McBride and Cathal Brugha. And America gaveus De Valera to lead auld Ireland through. We seem to be divided but I really don't know why. We had brave men and heroes, and for Ireland they did die. Now why not get together and join in unity, The North, the South, the East and West Will set old Ireland free. |
