Old Fenian Gun - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan[00:00:00]

It hung above the kitchen fire[00:00:03]

It's barrel long and brown[00:00:09]

And one day with a boy's desire[00:00:15]

I climbed and took it down[00:00:20]

My father's eyes with anger flashed[00:00:26]

He cried what have you done[00:00:32]

I wish you'd left it where it was[00:00:38]

That's my old Fenian gun[00:00:44]

I fondled it with love and pride[00:00:50]

I looked it over and over[00:00:56]

I placed it on my shoulder[00:01:02]

And I marched across the floor[00:01:06]

My father's anger softened[00:01:13]

And he shared my boyish fun[00:01:18]

Ah well he said[00:01:24]

'Tis in your breed[00:01:28]

Like that old Fenian gun[00:01:30]

I remember '67 well[00:01:36]

When lads like you and me[00:01:42]

All thought we'd strike another blow[00:01:48]

To set old Ireland free[00:01:54]

But broken were our golden hopes[00:01:59]

I was long months on the run[00:02:05]

But it did good work for Ireland[00:02:11]

Then that brown old Fenian gun[00:02:16]

I was down then in Killaluk[00:02:23]

'Twas the hottest fight of all[00:02:28]

And you see he burned his arm[00:02:35]

There's a mark still on the ball[00:02:40]

I hope the young lads growing now[00:02:46]

Will hold the ground we won[00:02:52]

And not disgrace the cause in which[00:02:58]

I held that Fenian gun[00:03:03]

I placed it on my shoulder[00:03:09]

And I heard my father sigh[00:03:15]

I knew his thoughts were turning back[00:03:21]

On days now long gone by[00:03:27]

And then I vowed within my heart[00:03:33]

I'll be my father's son[00:03:38]

And if ever Ireland wants my aid[00:03:44]

I'll hold the Fenian gun[00:03:50]

That's years ago I've grown a man[00:03:56]

And I've weathered many a gale[00:04:02]

The last long year[00:04:08]

I'v spent inside[00:04:11]

A gloomy English jail[00:04:14]

I've done my part[00:04:19]

I'll do it still[00:04:22]

Until the fight is won[00:04:25]

When Ireland's free[00:04:32]

She'll bless the men[00:04:35]

Who held the Fenian gun[00:04:38]
