《Great Fenian Ram》歌词

[00:00:00] Great Fenian Ram - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:10] Near the town of Liscannor in the county of Clare

[00:00:15] Where many great Irishmans plans were laid bare

[00:00:19] You saw the wild sea's as you stood on the heath

[00:00:24] And wondered and gazed at the ocean beneath

[00:00:28] Your life of religion was never to be

[00:00:33] You soon found your way to the land of the free

[00:00:37] In the state of New Jersey you perfected your plan

[00:00:41] And your work was un veiled as the great fenian ram

[00:00:46] Some men for adventure have planned for the stars

[00:00:51] And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars

[00:00:55] But you worked and you labored

[00:00:57] To build your wild dream

[00:00:59] That you'd be the man with the first submarine

[00:01:04] Now O'Donovan Rossa Bold Breslan Devoy

[00:01:08] Knew that Holland's invention was real and no toy

[00:01:13] For to take on the ships of the British Navy

[00:01:17] And all would be done now from under the sea

[00:01:21] The English protested to Old Uncle Sam

[00:01:26] About the mischievous boat called

[00:01:28] The Great Fenian Ram

[00:01:30] Oh he's just an inventor we've got nothing to hide

[00:01:34] John Bull was so angry when the Yankees replied

[00:01:39] Some men for adventure have planned for the stars

[00:01:43] And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars

[00:01:48] But you worked and you labored

[00:01:50] To build your wild dream

[00:01:52] That you'd be the man with the first submarine

[00:01:57] Neath the waves of the ocean this craft was at home

[00:02:01] And the Fenians had plans for this boat for to roam

[00:02:05] In the Passaic River your friends were amazed

[00:02:09] As your ship moved so silent neath the rivers and waves

[00:02:14] An attack on the Empire was prevented by spies

[00:02:18] And the cause was all crushed mid dissension and lies

[00:02:23] But Uncle Sam's Navy was so proud of the boat

[00:02:27] That the Holland's the name of the first sub afloat

[00:02:31] Some men for adventure have planned for the stars

[00:02:36] And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars

[00:02:40] But you worked and you labored

[00:02:42] To build your wild dream

[00:02:44] That you'd be the man with the first submarine

[00:02:49] Here as I stand beside New York Bay

[00:02:53] I can see all the ways you are remembered today

[00:02:57] For your name is all written on tunnels and ships

[00:03:01] On the streets of New York and on New Jersey's slips

[00:03:06] So be proud sons of Erin an Irishman he

[00:03:10] John Holland the first for to voyage 'neath the sea

[00:03:15] Leet the Statue of Liberty a beacon shine free

[00:03:19] For John Holland the first for to voyage 'neath the sea

[00:03:23] Some men for adventure have planned for the stars

[00:03:28] And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars

[00:03:32] But you worked and you labored

[00:03:34] To build your wild dream

[00:03:36] That you'd be the man with the first submarine
