the freedom fighters (irish rebel band) - my only son was shot in dublin lyrics

Loading...

the night was dark and the fight was ended
i stood alone where brave men fell
i stood alone where brave men perished
for now they sit on god’s right hand

[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland, ireland only
the harm and shamrock, green white and gold

the first i met was a grey+haired fenian
looking for his only son
i said, “old man, there’s no use searching”
“for straight to heaven your son has gone”

[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland and ireland only
the harm and shamrock, green white and gold

“oh god,” he cried, “i’m broken+hearted”
“oh god,” he cried, going to his knee
i knew my son was too kind+hearted
i knew my son would never yield
[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland and ireland only
the harm and shamrock, green white and gold

the next i met was a fair young maiden
kneeling low by her lover’s side
praying to god, her heavenly father
praying to god, his soul to guide

[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland; for ireland only
the harm and shamrock, green white and gold

the last i met was a dying rebel
kneeling down, i heard him cry
“god bless my home in dear cork city”
“god bless the cause for which i die”

[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland; for ireland only
the harm and shamrock, green white and gold
