the irish brigade - the hills around dunloy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
speak with pride the names of martin and hogan
volunteers who were valiant and true
and they grudged not their young lives for ireland
it was proudly we bade them adieu

[verse 2]
in their youth, how they longed for our freedom
spurred on by the taunts of the foe
and they vowed that they would not bow down before them
in the footsteps of hughes they would go
[chorus]
weep not for our passing, gallant comrades
but fight on for this land where we died
that green flag that we so dearly cherished
might wave high o’er the hills around dunloy

[verse 3]
it was on a mild february evening
henry hogan, in full battle dress
set out with the gallant declan martin
to engage with the foul sas

[verse 4]
and england’s pride on that evening was humbled
man to man, they laid two of them low
it was then that a hidden assassin
opened fire as they turned to go

[chorus]
weep not for our passing, gallant comrades
but fight on for this land where we died
that green flag that we so dearly cherished
might wave high o’er the hills around dunloy

[verse 5]
as they lay on the ground, their blood was flowing
without mercy, they’re shot in the chest
so farewell, to our gallant sons of ireland
mother éireann, they sleep at your breast
[chorus]
weep not for our passing, gallant comrades
but fight on for this land where we died
that green flag that we so dearly cherished
might wave high o’er the hills around dunloy
