Admiral William Brown - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

From a county Mayo town[00:00:10]

Came a man of great renown[00:00:13]

As a sailor and a soldier was none bolder[00:00:15]

He went to America at an early age they say[00:00:20]

As a cabin boy to sail the wide world over[00:00:25]

Then adventure took him south[00:00:31]

To the De La Plata mouth[00:00:33]

San Martin was on the route in Argentina[00:00:36]

So three whaling ships he bought[00:00:41]

And Brazil and Spain he fought[00:00:43]

And freedom then he sought for Argentina[00:00:46]

Now Admiral William Brown[00:00:51]

You're a man of courage shown[00:00:53]

And in battles fought the odds were all against you[00:00:56]

But your Irish heart was strong[00:01:01]

And in memory still lives on[00:01:03]

And in Ireland there are some that don't forget you[00:01:06]

On St Patrick's day it's told you had many victories bold[00:01:11]

You defeated all invaders thugs and bullys[00:01:16]

Then through the Pampas rose[00:01:21]

And you found a happy home[00:01:24]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:01:27]

He had heard of Irish hands in noble gallant bands[00:01:32]

That helped to free the land called Argentina[00:01:37]

He had heard with great acclaim[00:01:42]

The Patricios name and fame[00:01:44]

When in 1806 the British came for slaughter[00:01:47]

And to this very day in the Argentine they say[00:01:52]

The English ran away form Buenos Aires[00:01:57]

To the islands further down[00:02:02]

And they took them for the crown[00:02:05]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:02:08]

We remember William Brown[00:02:15]

And his land of great renown[00:02:17]

He invader of the islands from your country[00:02:20]

When in 1833 were by pirates forced to flee[00:02:25]

And in Ireland sure we know the story fully[00:02:30]

And the people that went too[00:02:35]

To the Argentine when new[00:02:38]

To escape the English laws[00:02:41]

And wars and famine[00:02:43]

They had proved a loyal[00:02:46]

Crew just like all the Irish do[00:02:48]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:02:51]

The old colonial days and cruel English ways[00:02:56]

With her thunder plunder we will teach the natives[00:03:01]

For the Brits are going to war[00:03:06]

Just like Whitelocke didbefore[00:03:09]

With her ships and guns[00:03:11]

And drums and flags and banners[00:03:13]

In the Empire days of old[00:03:17]

When they murdered for gold[00:03:19]

And paraded it around the streets of London[00:03:22]

Oh no human rights were given[00:03:27]

To the natives dead or living[00:03:29]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:03:32]

In the Argentine he died Father Fahey by his side[00:03:40]

'57 was the year his country mourned him[00:03:45]

A hero of the nation he's remembered with elation[00:03:51]

Throughout the world where freedom still abounds[00:03:56]

And the Southern Cross take note[00:04:01]

Where bold Willie Bullfin wrote[00:04:03]

The Irish still support you Argentina[00:04:06]

With the Empire tumbling down[00:04:11]

Let no Paddies back the crown[00:04:14]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:04:17]

With the Empire tumbling down[00:04:21]

Let no Paddies back the crown[00:04:24]

"Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas"[00:04:27]
