| [00:21.426] |
At Boolavogue, as the sun was setting |
| [00:27.311] |
Over the bright May meadows of Shelmalier |
| [00:32.731] |
A rebel hand set the heather blazing |
| [00:38.060] |
And brought the neighbours from far and near |
| [00:44.556] |
Then Father Murphy, from old Kilcormack |
| [00:50.436] |
Spurred up the rock with a warning cry: |
| [00:55.974] |
"Arm! Arm!" he cried, "for I've come to lead you |
| [01:01.500] |
For Ireland's freedom we'll fight or die" |
| [01:06.777] |
|
| [01:16.667] |
He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers |
| [01:22.280] |
And the cowardly Yeomen we put to flight |
| [01:27.730] |
It was at the Harrow the boys of Wexford |
| [01:32.810] |
Showed Bookey's Regiment how men could fight |
| [01:40.218] |
Look out for hirelings, King George of England |
| [01:45.392] |
Search every kingdom, where breathes a slave |
| [01:50.922] |
For Father Murphy from the County Wexford |
| [01:56.397] |
Sweeps over the land like a mighty wave |
| [02:01.895] |
|
| [02:32.318] |
At Vinegar Hill, over the pleasant Slaney |
| [02:37.677] |
Our heroes bravely stood back-to-back |
| [02:43.222] |
And the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy |
| [02:48.492] |
And burned his body upon the rack |
| [02:55.487] |
God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy |
| [03:00.809] |
And open Heaven to all your men |
| [03:06.456] |
For the cause that called you may call tomorrow |
| [03:12.203] |
In another fight for the Green again |
| [03:18.068] |
