Come listen to me and youll be told Of the past, the present, the Eire of old Milesians came warring to seek to seek out the land Of the Firbolgs fighting the Tuatha De Danann
Amergin the bard, Cu Chullain so true Of Cormac MacArt and king Brian Boru Fionn and the Fian who tread the Old Sod And blessed is St. Patrick who turned them to God
Drogheda destroyed from Cromwells abuse A fate that was suffered far worse than the noose Sitting in camp, with his men drinking ale He sent orphans running to live past the Pale
With risings a plenty, rebellions struck down How many had perished beneath Britains crown Famine brought plague on the old and the young And death almost conquered the lands native tongue
Yet the Fenians brought forth great men of renown Like the Big Fellow Collins of Clonakilty town The country divided but well on its way To the Irish republic we see today
The talking of peace, agreements a must If only both sides could sit down in trust Nothing is gained clinging onto the past Just move on to see Eire united at last
2004 G. O Raithbheartaigh
