To Rate(Boys of the Old Brigade)
★ Verse 1 ★
Oh father why are you so sad
On this bright Easter 'morn?
When Irish men are proud and glad
The land where they were born
Oh son I see in memory few of far off distant day
When being just a lad like you I joined the IRA
★ Chorus ★
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made?
Oh grá mo chroí, I long to see
The Boys of the Old Brigade
★ Verse 2 ★
From hill and farm the call to arms
Was heard by one and all
And from the glen came brave young men
To answer Ireland's call
It was long ago we facеd the foe
The old brigadе and me
And by my side they fought and they died
That Ireland might be free
★ Chorus ★
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made?
Oh grá mo chroí, I long to see
The Boys of the Old Brigade
(Crossmaglen)
★ Verse 1 ★
I'll sing a song
Of the bravest men
The famous fighting unit from Armagh
They are the men
From Crossmaglen
Amongst the bravest Ireland's ever saw!
★ Chorus ★
We're in Crossmaglen
The fire burns true
The patriotic flame will never die!
And when we hear the battle cry
It will be the fighting men of Crossmaglen!
★ Verse 2 ★
At night you'll hear
Bazookas roar
The armalites is heard across the land!
The IRA
Push up the score
They know the day of freedom's close at hand!
★ Chorus ★
We're in Crossmaglen
The fire burns true
The patriotic flame will never die!
And when we hear the battle cry
It will be the fighting men of Crossmaglen!
(Nation Once Again)
★ Chorus ★
A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be
A Nation Once Again!
★ Verse 1 ★
When boyhood's fire was in my blood
I read of ancient free men
For Greece, and for Rome
Who bravely stood
Three hundred men and three men
And then i thought
I yet might see
Our fetters rent in twain
And Ireland long a province be
A Nation Once Again!
★ Chorus ★
A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be
A Nation Once Again!
★ Verse 2 ★
So as i grew from boy to man
I bent me to that bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion ridding
For thus I hoped some day to aid
Oh can such hope be vain?
When my dear country shall be made
A Nation once again!
★ Chorus ★
A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be
A Nation Once Again!
(Boys of the Old Brigade)
And now, my boy I've told you why
On Easter morn' I sigh
For I recall my comrades all
On dark old days gone by
Sure I think of men who fought in glen
With rifle and grenade
May heaven keep the men who sleep
From the ranks of the old brigade!
★ Outro ★
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made?
Oh grá mo chroí, I long to see
The Boys of the Old Brigade
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made?
Oh grá mo chroí, I long to see
The Boys of the Old Brigade
Oh grá mo chroí, I long to see
The Boys of the Old Brigade!
