《Boys Of Kilmichael》歌词

[00:00:00] Boys of Kilmichael - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan

[00:00:03] While we honour in song and in story

[00:00:08] The memory of Pearse and McBride

[00:00:11] Whose names are illumined in glory

[00:00:15] By martyrs for long how since died

[00:00:19] Forget not the boys of Kilmichael

[00:00:23] Who feared not the might of the foe

[00:00:27] The day that they marched into battle

[00:00:30] They laid all the clucking Tans low

[00:00:34] So here's to the boys of Kilmichael

[00:00:38] Those brave lad so gallant and true

[00:00:41] They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin

[00:00:45] And conquered the red white and blue

[00:00:48] On the twenty eighth day of November

[00:00:53] The Tans left the town of Macroom

[00:00:56] They were seated into Crossley tenders

[00:01:00] That is bringing them straight to their doom

[00:01:04] They were all on the road to Kilmichael

[00:01:08] And never expecting to stall

[00:01:11] And there was the boys from the column

[00:01:15] Who made a clean sweep of the lots

[00:01:18] So here's to the boys of Kilmichael

[00:01:22] Those brave lad so gallant and true

[00:01:26] They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin

[00:01:30] And conquered the red white and blue

[00:01:33] The sun in the west it was sinking

[00:01:37] 'Twas the eve of a cold winter's day

[00:01:40] When the Tans we were eagerly waiting

[00:01:44] Sailed into the spot where we lay

[00:01:48] And over the hill came the echo

[00:01:52] The peal of the rifles and guns

[00:01:55] And the flames from the lorries brought tidings

[00:01:59] And the boys of Kilmichael had won

[00:02:03] So here's to the boys of Kilmichael

[00:02:06] Those brave lad so gallant and true

[00:02:10] They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin

[00:02:14] And conquered the red white and blue

[00:02:18] The lorries were ours before twilight

[00:02:21] High over Dunmaway Town

[00:02:25] Our banners in triumph were waving

[00:02:29] To show that Tans had gone down

[00:02:32] So we gathered our rifles and bayonets

[00:02:36] And soon left the grin so obscure

[00:02:39] And we never drink till we halted

[00:02:43] At the far away camp of Granure

[00:02:47] So here's to the boys of Kilmichael

[00:02:51] Those brave lad so gallant and true

[00:02:54] They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin

[00:02:58] And conquered the red white and blue
