The Protestant Men - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

It was back in history's page [00:00:09]

The story's told of a Napper Tandy brave and bold[00:00:11]

With his scarlet and green [00:00:18]

He then was seen with his big long gun[00:00:20]

And his fighting men[00:00:23]

They beat at the drum [00:00:26]

They fired their gun[00:00:28]

And they shook the English establishment[00:00:30]

And the Lords and the Peers[00:00:35]

They then put fears and Grattan got his Parliament[00:00:37]

So here's to those great Protestant Men[00:00:43]

Who gave their lives to free our land[00:00:47]

All the people they sang their praises then[00:00:52]

For those brave United Irishmen[00:00:56]

In Belfast town there lived a man[00:01:01]

And his name was Samuel Neilson[00:01:04]

A minister's son Presbyterian [00:01:09]

And the paper called the Northern Star[00:01:12]

And there was Henry Joy the Green Volunteers[00:01:18]

Thomas Russell and McCabe and McTeir[00:01:22]

To them was known a man Wolfe Tone[00:01:26]

And they formed the first United Men[00:01:30]

So here's to those great Protestant Men[00:01:35]

Who gave their lives to free our land[00:01:39]

All the people they sang their praises then[00:01:43]

For those brave United Irishmen[00:01:48]

So your laws with dragons teeth[00:01:52]

And then you'll see[00:01:55]

That you've sowed the seeds of bigotry[00:01:56]

Be Englands fool divide they'll rule[00:02:01]

So they set to break the United Men[00:02:04]

And they killed them in the fields[00:02:09]

And some in jail and some upon the Gallows high[00:02:11]

When Willie Orr died his very last cry was[00:02:18]

Unite and fight brave Irishmen[00:02:22]

So here's to those great Protestant Men[00:02:26]

Who gave their lives to free our land[00:02:30]

All the people they sang their praises then[00:02:35]

For those brave United Irishmen[00:02:39]

Cast dissensions to the wind let all men lend[00:02:44]

To the common name of an Irishman[00:02:48]

For across history's page to rant[00:02:52]

And rage men crossed the pails of bigotry[00:02:55]

There was the men of '98 no sadder fate [00:03:01]

Lord Edward Tone and the brothers Sheres[00:03:05]

It was Emmet's plea in 18 and 3[00:03:09]

When he tried to set our country free[00:03:13]

So here's to those great Protestant Men[00:03:18]

Who gave their lives to free our land[00:03:22]

All the people they sang their praises then[00:03:26]

For those brave United Irishmen[00:03:31]
