Wolfe Tones - Erin Go Bragh

Ill 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 that great game they call Erin go Bragh.

God bless gallant Pearse and his comrades who died,
Tom Clarke, MacDonagh, MacDermott, McBride,
And heres to James Connolly he gave one hurrah,
And faced the machine guns for Erin go Bragh.

Now one of our leaders was down at Ringsend,
For the honour of Ireland to uphold and defend,
They had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw,
Making sweet Mauser music for Erin go Bragh.

Bold Kent and his comrades like lions at bay,
From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay,
And what was their wrath when the invaders them saw,
All the dead kakhi soldiers a Erin go Bragh.

A brave foreign captain was raving that day,
Saying " give me one hour and they'll blow you away",
But a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his jaw,
And he died of lead poison ah Erin go Bragh.

Ah glory to Dublin to her do renown,
In the long generations her name will go down,
And the children will tell how their forefathers saw,
The red blaze of freedom oer Erin go Bragh.

6. He's beautiful! I'm honored.

When I was young all my teachers would spell my name "Aaron" - which is the more traditional male spelling. Now the spelling "Erin" is more prevalent, I think.
