Black 47 - The Big Fellah Click description for lyrics.

Lyrics:

Mo chara is mo lao thu!
(My friend and my calf)
Is aisling trí néallaibh
(A vision in dream)
Do deineadh aréir dom
(Was revealed to me last night)
IgCorcaigh go déanach
(In Cork, a late hour)
Ar leaba im aonar
(In my solitary bed)

I remember you back in the GPO with Connolly and Clarke
Laughin' with McDermott through the bullets and the sparks
Always with the smart remark, your eyes blazin' and blue
But when we needed confidence we always turned to you
And when they shot our leaders up against Kilmainham wall
You were there beside us in that awful Easter dawn
Hey, big fellah..........where the hell are you now
When we need you the most
Hey, big fellah..........c'mon

Tabhair dom do lámh
(Give me your hand)

Back on the streets of Dublin when we fought the black and tans
You were there beside us, a towerin' mighty man
And God help the informer or the hated English spy
By Jaysus, Mick, you'd crucify them without the blinkin' of an eye
Still you had a heart as soft as the early mornin' dew
Every widow, whore and orphan could always turn to you
We beat them in the cities and we whipped them in the streets
And the world hailed Michael Collins, our commander and our chief
And they sent you off to London to negotiate a deal
And to gain us a republic, united, boys, and real
But the women and the drink, Mick, they must have got to you
'Cause you came back with a country divided up in two

We had to turn against you, Mick, there was nothin' we could do
'Cause we couldn't betray the republic like Arthur Griffith and you
We fought against each other, two brothers steeped in blood
But I never doubted that your heart was broken in the flood
And though we had to shoot you down in golden Béal na Blath
I always knew that Ireland lost her greatest son of all.

  • I heared of you guys, thanks to Sons of Anarchy... ( season 3 ep 8.)

    They did a nice job on the soundtrack throughout, and the Irish-inflected theme song was a nice touch.

  • This is quite possibly one of the best songs i have heard in the past 10 years...or more.

see all

  • I hate the band because there not even of IRish descent. They should keep their nose out of business with Ireland.

    But the song is awsome. Even though I'm against the IRA and its values.

  • I think I'm Irish...

  • How many Sons of Anarchy are responsible for the figures on top?

  • SoA! Lol

  • @MikeTheSaintable thats hilarious man

  • FOR THE REPUBLIC! NOT JUST FOR IRELAND BUT FOR AMERICA!!!!

  • I can totally relate to this song. I had these 2 batteries sitting in a drawer doing nothing for years and then one day I decided to throw them out. About 6 months later my scales died on me while I was weighing something and I thought "I know where there are some batteries!" and I opened the drawer to find in my hour of need they were gone. I was all like damn, where the hell are they now when I need them the most.

  • SOA all day buddy

  • Sons Of Anarchy till the day I die

  • From the Celts, That live on the island, Tasmania, they sent us here, they could never break our spirit!
