Fenian Cry of Freedom

Original: The Battle Cry of Freedom
Fenian Cry of Freedom (words by Derek Warfield)

Chorus:
Ireland the nation, Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Justice and freedom and Erin-go-bragh
The trumpet calls "to arms" boys, their swords are flashing keen
Flashing for liberty and freedom.

1.
Come join the Fenian band, boys, beneath our flag of green
Go fourth to assert your rights as freemen
Soon, as in days of yore, shall its emerald folds be seen
Floating triumphantly in Erin

Chorus...

2.
Too long you've lived as slaves, boys, or fled your native land.
Severing affections ties endearing.
Or on foreign battle fields shed your blood, a noble band,
Sighing, "Oh, would it be for Erin."
Ireland forever! Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Brave men are arming for Erin-go-bragh;
Then with the Fenian Brothers unite and take your stand,
Fighting for liberty in Erin.

3.
Pause not though cowards sneer, boys, our cause if righteous, just -
Tyrant, beware! Thy doom is nearing,
Thy boasted power and pride shall be humbled in the dust,
Vengeance awaits thee now in Erin.
Ireland and freedom! Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Join the avengers of Erin-go-bragh,
And God will aid the right, boys - in him alone we trust-
Marching in victory in Erin.

Chorus...

ALCON:

because it happened again:

This is my account and I have the right to decide which comments will be posted or which will be deleted. I won't tolerate ANY disgusting or threatening comments against myself or irish patriotism.

To all "biritish patriots" who "commented" this vid: The british have no right to oppress the people in Northern Ireland.Northern Ireland is a part of Ireland and not of the UK. Ulster was and is part of Ireland and not of the UK.

[nialld1990]

Because its he least you British batards could do after 900 years of oppression in Ireland

No surrender is right, no surrender to British imperialism

[odonnell1218]

Justice and freedom in Erin go Bragh!

[slobjob13]

Its not freedom from Britain you need, its freedom from the EU.

The Irish don't love freedom, they just hate the Brits... And don't come crying to me about who should be where, cos i don't give a shit, and i voted for Irish sovereignty twice, and still they surrendered to Europe an gave away the freedoms their ancestors strived for. If you want to make a difference stop surfing vids of old fights on the web and get active against the EU.
