Song of Irish Freedom 1798 Original Song Tim Dalton Lyrics John Finn tdal007


Chorus -
The fight to live as freemen is one that must be fought!
The fight to live as freemen is one so dearly bought!
The fight to live as freemen is all the way not part!
The right to live as freemen is there within the heart!
Verse 1.
Ireland 1798 was stained red.Men and womens,
precious blood was shed.
Country wide,all year long,on every street,
Irish hearts were bled.
Battles,massacres were an everyday thing.
No quarter ever shown.
New Ross Town was ever, such a place,
On a merciless, 5th day,of June.
Chorus-
The fight to live as freemen is one that must be fought!
The fight to live as freemen is one so dearly bought!
The fight to live as freemen is all the way not part!
The right to live as freemen is there within the heart !
Verse 2
John Finns,family and friends fought in the battle,to free Ireland and break the yoke.
With thousands more to New Ross Town.
Only Pikes in hand, and hope !
But battles are won and lost.The losers
will be made to pay.
So it was again this time, for the Irish cause.
They had to flee and run away !
Chorus-
The fight to live as freemen is one that must be fought!
The fight to live as freemen is one so dearly bought!
The fight to live as freemen is all the way not part!
The right to live as freemen is there within the heart !
Verse 3.
To Drummond Woods,escaping Black and Tans,
with no other place to hide.!
Men,wives,their children,lived hand to mouth.
Yet they, and freedoms flame, survived !.
Many years did pass and the struggle continued.
Finally they did have their day !
It took many years to happen, in Irelands case,
and freedom is now the better way.
Chorus-
The fight to live as freemen is one that must be fought!
The fight to live as freemen is one so dearly bought!
The fight to live as freemen is all the way not part!
The right to live as freemen is there within the heart!
The right to live as freemen is there within the heart!
Verse 4 and finish.
Just remember where you came from !
Then you will know where you are now!
Let no-one take this struggle from you!
Freedom is yours because of what you do!
Freedom is yours because of what you do!

Copy right- John Finn-18th April.2010.

Hi Tim -Your country knows the fight for freedom well !
Sadly so do many others the world over !
Thank heavens for the internet -It will inform and stop people
accepting Oppression -In whatever form-
It will make them fight for humanity and a better day for all.
