freedom sons - off to dublin lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, i am a merry ploughboy
and i plough the fields all day
till a certain thought came to my head
that i should roam away
i’m tired of civilian life since the day that i was born
so i’m off to join the ira
and i’m off tomorrow morn

[chorus]
so we’re all off to dublin in the green, in the green
where the helmets glisten in the sun
where the bayonets clash and the rifles flash
to the echo of the thompson gun

[verse 2]
now i leave aside my pick and spade
and i leave aside my ploughboy
and i leave aside my old grey mare
for no more i’ll need her now
and i’ll take my short revolver
and my bandolier of lead
and if i die, i can but try
to avenge my country’s dead

[chorus]
so we’re off to dublin in the green, in the green
where the helmets glisten in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles clash
to the echo of the thompson gun
[verse 3]
and i leave aside my mary, the one that i adore
i wonder if she’ll think of me
when she hears the rifles roar
and when the war is over
and dear old ireland’s free
i’ll take her to the church to wed
and a rebel’s wife she’ll be

[chorus]
so we’re off to dublin in the green, in the green
where the helmets glisten in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles clash
to the echo of the thompson gun
