作词 : Kavana, Woods | |
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills | |
And heard the curlews cry | |
Or seen the raven black as night | |
Upon a windswept sky | |
To walk the purple heather | |
And hear the westwind cry | |
To know that's where the rapparee must die | |
Since Cromwell pushed us westward | |
To live our lowly lives | |
There's some of us have deemed to fight | |
From Tipperary mountains high | |
Noble men with wills of iron | |
Who are not afraid to die | |
Who'll fight with gaelic honour held on high | |
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell | |
You who raped our Motherland | |
I hope you're rotting down in hell | |
For the horrors that you sent | |
To our misfortunate forefathers | |
Whom you robbed of their birthright | |
'To hell or Connaught' may you burn in hell tonight | |
Of one such man I'd like to speak | |
A rapparee by name and deed | |
His family dispossessed and slaughtered | |
They put a price upon his head | |
His name is known in song and story | |
His deeds are legends still | |
And murdered for blood money | |
Was young Ned of the hill | |
You have robbed our homes and fortunes | |
Even drove us from our land | |
You tried to break our spirit | |
But you'll never understand | |
The love of dear old Ireland | |
That will forge an iron will | |
As long as there are gallant men | |
Like young Ned of the hill | |
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell | |
You who raped our Motherland | |
I hope you're rotting down in hell | |
For the horrors that you sent | |
To our misfortunate forefathers | |
Whom you robbed of their birthright | |
'To hell or Connaught' may you burn in hell tonight |
