Collected from JOE WATSON Caringbah, NSW Recorded 1973 onwards Home Rule for IrelandYou sons of Erin's Isle, just listen for a while,A few words of history I'll run o'er, And believe me when I say, “Until your dying day Home Rule for Ireland, ever more.” Hurrah! For Erin's Isle, whose sons you can't beguile, Though the Lion is a-watching at the door, And high in College Green the good flag may be seen, It's Home Rule for Ireland ever more. Good men we can produce, who have proved themselves of use, Look at Robert Ewart, Thomas Moore, What did Dan O'Connell say, before he went away? Home Rule For Ireland, Ever More! What did Gladstone try to do, to help old Ireland through? Though his Home Rule Bill was beaten by a score, But he's going to try again; he'll gain the victory then, We'll have Home Rule for Ireland, ever More! So hurrah! For Erin's Isle, whose sons you can't beguile, Though the Lion is watching at the door, And it's high in College Green; the good old flag can be seen, We'll have Home Rule for Ireland, ever More! |
