the irish brigade - the dying rebel (2014) lyrics

[verse 1]
the night was dark
the fight had ended
the moon shone down o’connell street
i stood alone
where brave men perish
those men have gone
their god to meet

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

[verse 2]
the first i met was a grey haired father
looking for his only son
i said “old man
there’s no use searching
your only son to heaven has gone”
“my god” he cried
“i’m broken hearted”
“my god” he cried
(???)
“i knew my son
was to kind+hearted
i knew my son
would never (???)”
[chorus]
my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland
and ireland only
the harp and shamrock, green white and gold

[verse 3]
the last i met was a dying rebel
kneeling o’er, i heard him cry
“god bless my home in dear cork city
god bless this cause for which i die”

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

the harp and shamrock, green white and gold
