The Dubliners - Off to Dublin in the green 1973
I am a merry ploughboy and I ploughed the fields all day 'Till a sudden thought came to my mind that I should roam away
I'm sick and tired of slavery since the day that I was born And I'm off to join the I.R.A. and I'm off tomorrow morn.
And we're off to Dublin in the green, in the green Where the helmets glisten in the sun Where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash To the echo of the Thompson Gun.
I'll leave aside my pick and spade I'll leave aside me plough I'll leave aside me horse and yoke for no more I'll need them now
And I'll leave aside my Mary she's the girl I do adore And I wonder will she think of me when she hears the rifles roar
And we're off to Dublin in the green, in the green Where the helmets glisten in the sun Where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash To the echo of the Thompson Gun.
And when the war is over and old Ireland she is free I will take her to the church to wed and a rebels wife she'll be.
Well, some men fight for silver and some men fight for gold But the IRA are fighting for the land that the Freestaters stole
And we're all off to Dublin in the green, in the green Where the helmets glisten in the sun Where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash To the rattle of a Thompson gun

Cromwell is it? He was hated by his own people so much that four years after his death, he was dug up and hung by the neck. British justice? Not much.
