@TheBanshee4302 No, but we don't need it. The same execution squad were ruthless enough to execute another man by strapping him into a chair - he was already dying & too weak to stand, but the bastards murdered him so he wouldn't become a martyr to the cause of Irish republicanism.

It make me proud to know that this song was written for my great aunt Grace Gifford. So proud to be Irish!

Joseph Plunkett was some man for one man! His last request was to marry his love, Grace, on the eve of his own execution....he was being killed for rebelling against a crowd of bastards that were trying to take our independence.
Several years later, Grace was imprisoned for promoting the fight for independence as her late husband had done.....
THUMBS UP SO TO KEEP IT TOP OF THE PAGE SO LISTENERS KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS WONDERFUL SONG...TA SE AN-MHAITH!

Do we have any record of how the guards and execution squads felt about what they had to do? It had to be hard to see the wedding and then to kill a poet for his love of country.

The coach driver played this song on my first journey in Ireland, Feb 1990. I was hooked. Hooked on Ireland, on the music, on the people. I go back every year now, dv, and the music keeps me going. Thanks for posting this. It brought back some precious memories.
