young emmet - daoirí farrell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in green street courthouse in eighteen and three
stood young emmet the hero true and brave
for fighting the tyrant his country to free
and tear from her brow the bonds of slavery

[chorus]
there are still men in ireland who are loyal and true
who remember their patriots with pride
and with god’s help young emmet he’ll soon give to you
the epitaph unwritten since you died

[verse 2]
well alone and defiant he stood in the dock
while lord norbury the hanging judge looked down
all against his false charges as firm as a rock
oh another irish martyr to the crown

[chorus]
and there are still men in ireland who are loyal and true
who remember their patriots with pride
and with god’s help young emmet he will soon give to you
the epitaph unwritten since you died

[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
oh the verdict was guilty, the sentence was death
and in thomas street the tyrant’s work was done
oh but young emmet smiled as he drew on his last breath
for he knew the fight for freedom would be won

[chorus]
and there are still men in ireland who are loyal and true
who remember their patriots with pride
and with god’s help young emmet he will soon give to you
the epitaph unwritten since you died

and there are still men in ireland who are loyal and true
who remember their patriots with pride
and with god’s help young emmet he’ll soon give to you
the epitaph unwritten since you died
