IRA Rebel Songs - Those "Protestant" Men

Please join our new forum at http://www.REBELS.IN - Political & General Irish discussions. Not for the faint hearted.. It gets a bit rowdy!

It was back in history's page, the story's told of a Napper Tandy brave and bold
With his scarlet and green, he then was seen with his big long gun his fighting men
And they beat at the drum, they fired their gun and they shook the English establishment
And the Lords and the Peers they then put fears and Grattan got his Parliament

So here's to those great Protestant Men
Who gave their lives to free our land
All the people sang their praises then
For those brave United Irishmen

In Belfast town there lived a man and his name was Samuel Neilson
A minister's son, Presbyterian, and the paper called the Northern Star
There was Henry Joy, the Green Volunteers and Thomas Russell and McCabe and McTeir
And to them was known a man Wolfe Tone and they formed the first United Men

So here's to those great Protestant Men
Who gave their lives to free our land
All the people sang their praises then
For those brave United Irishmen

So you sow your laws with dragons teeth and soon you'll see that you've sowed the seeds of bigotry
Be Englands fool divide they'll rule so they set to break the United Men
And they killed them in the fields and some in jail and some upon the Gallows high
When Willie Orr died his very last cry was "Unite and fight brave Irishmen"

So here's to those great Protestant Men
Who gave their lives to free our land
All the people sang their praises then
For those brave United Irishmen

Cast dissensions to the wind let all men lend to the common name of an Irishman
For across historys page to rant and rage men crossed the pails of bigotry
There was the men of '98 no sadder fate, Lord Edward, Tone and the brothers Sheres
It was Emmet's plea in 18 and 3 when he tried to set our country free

So here's to those great Protestant Men
Who gave their lives to free our land
All the people sang their praises then
For those brave United Irishmen

Why has @Vengeanceofchrist uploaded this when he is so anti-Protestant, bit weird. Anyway it is true religion does not matter, and as religion becomes less important to people a united Ireland is drawing closer.

Being irish has nothing to do with religion its being willing to be part of the Irish nation that makes you irish my family are all presbeterian/Atheist scots but i consider myself irish since i was born and raised here.

@FungalSheep I think you missed my point. I'm not demanding respect for Britain. All I'm saying is every country throughout history has had it's highs and it's lows. People get into a rut of focusing on the lows an not so much on the highs. I am not defending them by no means, what they did to the Irish is horrific.

[FungalSheep]

@BlueDabber If you want some respect for Britain, tell Britain to show some respect for other nations. Getting their soldiers, governments, and law the fuck out of those nations might be a good start.
