the irish brigade - the glasgow smashing of the van lyrics
[verse 1]
it was on the 12th of may, boys, in 1921
when the news ran through all scotland that a daring deed was done
it was by a band of rebels to release an irishman
they assembled in the high street where they smashed the prison van
[chorus]
so here’s to the boys who done it
their cause was staunch and true
each man who played his part that day was irish through and through
side by side they stood there, revolvers in their hands
did that band of irish rebels at the smashing of the van
[verse 2]
those clever glasgow police were quickly on the scene
they arrested everybody connected with sinn féin
they arrested father mcrory a [mere?] clergyman
but they only showed their ignorance at the smashing of the van
[chorus]
so here’s to the boys who done it
their cause was staunch and true
each man who played his part that day was irish through and through
side by side they stood there, revolvers in their hands
did that band of irish rebels at the smashing of the van
[verse 3]
now, the trial, it is over, and the crown case it did fail
although they did their very best to send our boys to jail
defended by their counsellors mckane and sandyman
sure the verdict was not guilty at the smashing of the van
[chorus]
so here’s to the boys who done it
their cause was staunch and true
each man who played his part that day was irish through and through
side by side they stood there, revolvers in their hands
did that band of irish rebels at the smashing of the van
so here’s to the boys who done it
their cause was staunch and true
each man who played his part that day was irish through and through
side by side they stood there, revolvers in their hands
did that band of irish rebels at the smashing of the van
