Eireann Go Bragh

I'll sing you a song of a row in the town
When the green flag went up and the crown rag came down
It was the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw
When we played the best game played in Erin go Bragh
God rest Galvin Pearse and his comrades who died
Tom Clarke, McDermott, McDonagh, McBride
And here's to James Connolly who gave one hurrah
And he placed the machine guns for Erin go Bragh
Well one of our leaders was down at Ringsend
For the honor of Ireland to hold and defend
He had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw
Playing sweet Mazer music for Erin go Bragh
Paul Kent and his comrades like lions at bay
From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay
Ah but what was their wrath when the Englishmen saw
All the dead khaki soldiers in Erin go Bragh
Oh a brave English captain was raving that day
He says "give me one hour and I'll blow you away"
But a big Mazer bullet got stuck in his graw
And he died of lead poisoning in Erin go Bragh
All glory to Dublin, to the halls of renown
In the long generations her fame won't live down
And children will tell how their forefathers saw
The red blaze of freedom o'er Erin go Bragh
