the dying rebel - the davitts lyrics

Loading...

the night was dark and the battle ended
the moon shone down o’connell street
i stood alone where many brave men perished
those men are gone, their god to meet

my only son was shot in dublin
fighting for his country bold
he fought for ireland, and for ireland only
the harp and shamrock, green, white, and gold

the first i met was a grey*haired father
searching for his only son
i said “old man, there’s no use searching
for up to heaven your son has gone”

and the old man cried, all broken*hearted
and then low, i heard him sing
“i knew my son was too kind*hearted
i knew my son would never heed”

and the last i met was a dying rebel
bending low, i heard him sing
“god bless my home in dear cork city
god bless this cause for which i die”

the night is dark and the fight is over
the moon shone down o’connell street
i stood alone where many brave men parried
those men of god, their god to meet
those men are gone, their god to meet
