john spillane - the streets of ballyphehane lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
oh father dear tell me if you can
who are these men who have haunted my childhood
all round this neighbourhood
around the streets of ballyphehane
around the streets of ballyphehane

[verse 1]
oh son oh son on connolly road
we remember james connolly
he was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
he fought a hard war against great poverty and inequality
he was shot down in a cold prison yard
son they were brave men and we remember them
around the streets of ballyphehane
around the streets of ballyphehane

[verse 2]
oh son oh son on plunkett road
we remember joseph mary plunkett
he was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
i see his blood upon the rose and in the stars
the glory of his eyes
he was shot down in a cold prison yard
son they were brave men and we remember them
around the streets of ballyphehane
around the streets of ballyphehane
[chorus]
oh father dear tell me if you can
who are these men who have haunted my childhood
all round this neighbourhood
around the streets of ballyphehane
around the streets of ballyphehane

[verse 3]
oh son oh son on pe+rs+ road
we remember padraig pe+rs+
he was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
he understood that the blossom will fade
but in the springtime it will be re+made
and rise again and rise again and rise again
he was shot down in a cold prison yard
son they were brave men and we remember them
around the streets of ballyphehane
around the streets of ballyphehane
