《The Protestant Men》歌词

[00:00:00] The Protestant Men - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:09] It was back in history's page

[00:00:11] The story's told of a Napper Tandy brave and bold

[00:00:18] With his scarlet and green

[00:00:20] He then was seen with his big long gun

[00:00:23] And his fighting men

[00:00:26] They beat at the drum

[00:00:28] They fired their gun

[00:00:30] And they shook the English establishment

[00:00:35] And the Lords and the Peers

[00:00:37] They then put fears and Grattan got his Parliament

[00:00:43] So here's to those great Protestant Men

[00:00:47] Who gave their lives to free our land

[00:00:52] All the people they sang their praises then

[00:00:56] For those brave United Irishmen

[00:01:01] In Belfast town there lived a man

[00:01:04] And his name was Samuel Neilson

[00:01:09] A minister's son Presbyterian

[00:01:12] And the paper called the Northern Star

[00:01:18] And there was Henry Joy the Green Volunteers

[00:01:22] Thomas Russell and McCabe and McTeir

[00:01:26] To them was known a man Wolfe Tone

[00:01:30] And they formed the first United Men

[00:01:35] So here's to those great Protestant Men

[00:01:39] Who gave their lives to free our land

[00:01:43] All the people they sang their praises then

[00:01:48] For those brave United Irishmen

[00:01:52] So your laws with dragons teeth

[00:01:55] And then you'll see

[00:01:56] That you've sowed the seeds of bigotry

[00:02:01] Be Englands fool divide they'll rule

[00:02:04] So they set to break the United Men

[00:02:09] And they killed them in the fields

[00:02:11] And some in jail and some upon the Gallows high

[00:02:18] When Willie Orr died his very last cry was

[00:02:22] Unite and fight brave Irishmen

[00:02:26] So here's to those great Protestant Men

[00:02:30] Who gave their lives to free our land

[00:02:35] All the people they sang their praises then

[00:02:39] For those brave United Irishmen

[00:02:44] Cast dissensions to the wind let all men lend

[00:02:48] To the common name of an Irishman

[00:02:52] For across history's page to rant

[00:02:55] And rage men crossed the pails of bigotry

[00:03:01] There was the men of '98 no sadder fate

[00:03:05] Lord Edward Tone and the brothers Sheres

[00:03:09] It was Emmet's plea in 18 and 3

[00:03:13] When he tried to set our country free

[00:03:18] So here's to those great Protestant Men

[00:03:22] Who gave their lives to free our land

[00:03:26] All the people they sang their praises then

[00:03:31] For those brave United Irishmen
