lirik lagu the irish brigade – the ballad of josie connolly
[verse 1]
james joseph connolly, your freedom’s cause was right
like his namesake of ’16, you stepped forward for the fight
the battlecry of ancient times, the call of liberty
with valiant heart you played your part to set your country free
[verse 2]
captured and badly injured, in the greatest of pain
without fear, this volunteer refused to give his name
your father at your bedside slowly watched you die
he could not even hold you close, to say a last goodbye
[verse 3]
injustice and oppression are the rеasons for this war
each volunteer who gave his life knew what hе was fighting for
the rights of the irish nation, to this land their own
to end hatred and bigotry, to rule ourselves alone
[verse 4]
to centuries of english rule, we’ve never cried defeat
the use of any brutal ways, resistance for to beat
our day of freedom, soon will come to the dawning of the day
if we’re courageous and determined, joseph connolly showed the way
[verse 5]
the loss of harvey and mcglynn, near castlederg, [?]
loughall and drumk!lly, for murders at clonoe
strabane lost charles breslin, brothers david and michael devine
tyrone’s brave young fighting men, who dared to cross the line
[verse 6]
joseph connolly, fearless to the end, he joins the patriot band
men who died on active service, to [?] from our land
their sacrifice speaks a thousand words, we hold each name with pride
for ireland free, one day will fly the flag for which they died
[verse 7]
seasons change ’round aghyaran, swiftly years rolled by
above the fields, the hills, and grains, the curlew swoops and flies
there’s not a day that passes we do not speak your name
of the day you died for ireland, that day of grief and pain
[verse 8]
your boots still on your granny’s chair, a coat behind the door
the laughter, josie, your gentile ways, are lost forevermore
there’s joy and there’s sorrow, we softly speak your name
this sad and a lonely home will never be the same
