lirik lagu the irish brigade - the volunteer

[verse 1]
the gunfire split the still night air
from my side the blood flowed red
informer’s work had been well done
an ambush had been lead

[verse 2]
my comrades turned back to my head
i waved them on again
escape for me was hopeless, why should they die in vain?

[verse 3]
the soldiers soon around me stood
their unit i could guess
their blackened faces could not disguise
the hated sas

[verse 4]
“finish him off!” i heard one say
as a gun moved towards my head
“tomorrow they’ll all sing about another fenian dead!”

[verse 5]
“just drop those guns down gently!”
a voice called from the dark
they wailed and fired a (???)
but it seemed that they’d missed their mark
the stranger stood before them now
with eyes that seemed alight
the cowards turned and quickly fled
as he raised his armalite
[verse 6]
his face ~ somewhere i’d seen before
though i couldn’t tell just where
but i knew from his green battledress ~
he was a volunteer

[verse 7]
he never said a word to me
as we moved off through the night
i was hoisted across his shoulders
a burden that seemed light

[verse 8]
“you’ll be save here at last” he said
as a cottage door drew near
“they’re friends of mine
though we haven’t met
for many’s a lonley year”

[verse 9]
he let me gently down
beside a wall of (???) and stone
i turned to thank my comrade brave
but i found i was alone

[verse 10]
when next i woke i found myself with a family staunch and true
i told them of my comrade strange
but it seemed they already knew
[verse 11]
i gazed upon that (???) wall
and things came clear at last
and i thought of songs and of storys
heard often in the past
and i knew than that our struggle was a fight we could not lose!
for beneath his picture
there i read:
“in memory of francis hughes”
