the freedom fighters (irish rebel band) - the boys of kilmichael lyrics

whilst we honour in song and in story
the memory of pe+rs+ and mcbride
whose names are illumined in glory
and martyrs who long since have died
forget not the boys of kilmichael
those brave lads so gallant and true
who fought ‘neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red, white and blue

then here’s to the boys of kilmichael
who feared not the might of the foe
the day that they marched into battle
they laid all the black and tans low
on the twenty+eighth day of november
the tans left the town of the macroom
they were seated in two crossley tenders
which led them right into their doom
they were on the road to kilmichael
and never expected to stall
they there met the boys from the column
who made a clean sweep of them all

[chorus]
forget not the boys of kilmichael
those brave lads so gallant and true
who fought ‘neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red, white and blue

the sun, in the west it was sinking
’twas the eve of a cold winter’s day
when the tans we were eagerly waiting
sailed into the spot where we lay
and over the hill went the echo
the peal of the rifle and gun
and the flames of their lorry gave tiding
that the boys from the column had won

[chorus]
forget not the boys of kilmichael
those brave lads so gallant and true
who fought ‘neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red, white and blue
the lorries were ours before twilight
and high over dunmanway town
our banners in triumph are waving
to show that the tans had gone down
so we gathered our rifles and bayonets
and soon left the glen so obscure
and we never drew rain till we halted
at a far away camp in ure

[chorus]
forget not the boys of kilmichael
those brave lads so gallant and true
who fought ‘neath the green flag of erin
and conquered the red, white and blue

[chorus]
forget not the boys of kilmichael
those brave lads so gallant and true
who fought ‘neath the green flag of ireland
and conquered the red, white and blue
