Lyrics :

Come listen all me true men to my simple rhyme
For it tells of a young man cut off in his prime
A soldier and a statesman who laid down the law, and,
To die by the roaside in lone Beal na Bla
When barely sixteen to England crossed o'er
For to work as a boy in a government store
But the Volunteers call he could not disobey
So he came back to Dublin to join in the fray

-Chorus-
At Easter nineteen sixteen when Pearse called them out
The men from the Dublin battalion roved out
And in the post office they nobley did show
How a handful of heros could outfight the foe.

To Stafford and jails transported they were
As prisonners of England they soon made a stir
Released before Christmas and home once again
He banded old comrades together to train
Dail Eireann assembled our rights to proclaim
Suppressed by the English you'd think it's a shame
How Ireland's best and bravest were harried and torn
From the Arms of their loved ones and children new born.

For years Mick eluded their soldiers and spies
For he was the master of clever disguise
With the Custom House blazing she found t'was no use
And soon Mother England had asked for a truce
Oh when will the young men a sad lesson spurn
That brother and brother they never should turn
Alas that a split in our ranks 'ere we saw
Mick Collins stretched lifeless in lone Beal na Bla

Oh long will old Ireland be seeking in vain
Ere we find a new leader to match the man slain
A true son of Grainne his name long will shine
O gallant Mick Collins cut off in his prime.

@wank0r Did England pay its war debt to the USA? Take the interest and use it to bail out Ireland then pay reparations to the Protestant populations England emigrated so as to destabilize Indigenous Irish populations. Northern Ireland is the fruit of the poisoned tree England planted. Then, stick your own head up your own ass so you see what you look like to everyone else.

My Irish friends,

I am from Croatia, and the Ireland is my favorite country with Croatia. We have same hitstory. For thousand years we didnt have our country, but 1991 we were in war with Serbia and we won. These thousand years we were siffering, but today Serbia suffer, and they lose parts of their land. In the last war Ireland was a big supporter and many Ireland soldiers lost their lives fighting for Croatia.Thomas Crowley is one of them. /watch?v=pbgK2ftY-cQ ... Thak you my friends. IRA!!!
