Fire In The Glen - Father, Son&Friends

Really, youtube doesn't have enough music from folk artists, especially Father, Son&Friends. Love them and their music 'till death.

Lyrics:

The old days are gone
That had use for this man
Who supported his lordship
Protected his land

Who in times of unrest
Would have died for his lord
Now the soldiers of England
Have taken his broadsword

(Refrain)
Aye, there's fire in the glen
Oh, fire in the glen
But no fire in the eyes of our highland men

And the lord has a smile
For the makers of graves
For the builders of empires
The makers of slaves

For he's kept his great home
Losin' nothin' but pride
While his kins men lay puddled
Along the shore side

(Refrain)
Aye, there's fire in the glen
Oh, fire in the glen
But no fire in the eyes of our highland men

So beware of are banners
And their general's lies
There's no glory for the poor man
No glitterin' prize

For we gave all we had
Now our homes, they fall down
And I cry out, "Republic! Allegiance to no crown."

(Refrain)
Aye, there's fire in the glen
Oh, fire in the glen
But no fire in the eyes of our highland men

For the old days are gone
That had use for this man
I supported his lordship
Protected his land

And in times of unrest
I would have died for my lord
Now the soldiers of England
Have taken my broadsword

(Refrain)
Oh, there's fire in the glen
Oh, fire in the glen
But no fire in the eyes of our highland men


Oh, there's fire in the glen
Oh, fire in the glen
But no fire in the eyes of our highland men
