charlie cairns - declan hunt lyrics

[verse 1]
emmet and barry and the manchester martyrs
a comrade have met in the bright halls above
another young life has been laid down for ireland
another true heart full of faith and of love
with barnes and mccormick he will live in our memory
and inspire us to fight on ’till ireland is free
a friend to the faithful, a foe to the traitors
that young charlie cairns, the boy from tralee

[verse 2]
he spoke like a soldier, he stood like a true man
when the cravens condemned him to death and to shame
he followed the path of a long line of heroes
and ireland forever shall honour his name
on a first friday morning in the month of december
the hangman from england came over the sea
and traitors to ireland wreaked vengeance and hatred
on young charlie cairns, the boy from tralee

[verse 3]
god rest him tonight in the brightness of heaven
god strengthen each true man to walk where he led
and raise up the standard of justice and freedom
and win for the living the wage of the dead
when the rule of the traitors is ended forever
and the power of their masters, from sea unto sea
we will praise the brave soldier of poblacht na heireann
for young charlie cairns, the boy from tralee
