Crumlin Jail - Kathleen Largey

For Benny

In Ireland's fight for freedom, boys
The North has played it's part
Though freedom's day is still to dawn
We've never yet lost heart
We'll fight it out until the end
We'll fight for we cannot fail
We know we'll win
Although they have
Our lads in Crumlin Jail.

We give to Erin Owen Roe
We give her Shane O'Neill
Tone in Cavehill made a vow
That England still can feel
Joe McKelvey did, not die in vain
He was a Northern Gael
And that's another reason why
They keep our lads in Crumlin Jail

Keep on the fight, you volunteers
For God is on your side
That jail won't break their spirits down
They'd just as soon have died.
For England knows and England fears
Our fearless Northern Gaels
And that's another reason why,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Jail


For England knows and England fears
Our fearless Northern Gaels
And that's another reason why,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Jail

Yes that's another reason why
We'll free our lads, in Crumlin Jail

Kathleen Largey = LEGEND

[conr16]

Aye and what the fuck did the UDA or UVF or the Brits or the RUC accomplish, what did they achieve? nothing, fuck all, they butchered and maimed and slaughtered over 1,000 innocent men women and children, fuck you and orange bastards like you, A 32 county democratic socialist republic is coming soon mate, mark my words with ink, because pretty soon we will outnumber you, you do know we "fenians" "smelly catholic bastards" and "taigy cunts" have large families? Stay in your urine infested gutter.

Kathleen Largey, the most famous singer of republican songs, RIP

[edwardky1]

Written by Dez Gillespie , late of The Golden Jubilee, Cromac Street in Belfast, he wrote it while he himself was interned. He added the "lately" verse in the early seventies.

He taught the song to Kathleen and Eamonn. It became a major song on their concert programme.
