Boys of Kilmichael - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan[00:00:00]

While we honour in song and in story[00:00:03]

The memory of Pearse and McBride[00:00:08]

Whose names are illumined in glory[00:00:11]

By martyrs for long how since died[00:00:15]

Forget not the boys of Kilmichael[00:00:19]

Who feared not the might of the foe[00:00:23]

The day that they marched into battle[00:00:27]

They laid all the clucking Tans low[00:00:30]

So here's to the boys of Kilmichael[00:00:34]

Those brave lad so gallant and true[00:00:38]

They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin[00:00:41]

And conquered the red white and blue[00:00:45]

On the twenty eighth day of November[00:00:48]

The Tans left the town of Macroom[00:00:53]

They were seated into Crossley tenders[00:00:56]

That is bringing them straight to their doom[00:01:00]

They were all on the road to Kilmichael[00:01:04]

And never expecting to stall[00:01:08]

And there was the boys from the column[00:01:11]

Who made a clean sweep of the lots[00:01:15]

So here's to the boys of Kilmichael[00:01:18]

Those brave lad so gallant and true[00:01:22]

They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin[00:01:26]

And conquered the red white and blue[00:01:30]

The sun in the west it was sinking[00:01:33]

'Twas the eve of a cold winter's day[00:01:37]

When the Tans we were eagerly waiting[00:01:40]

Sailed into the spot where we lay[00:01:44]

And over the hill came the echo[00:01:48]

The peal of the rifles and guns[00:01:52]

And the flames from the lorries brought tidings[00:01:55]

And the boys of Kilmichael had won[00:01:59]

So here's to the boys of Kilmichael[00:02:03]

Those brave lad so gallant and true[00:02:06]

They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin[00:02:10]

And conquered the red white and blue[00:02:14]

The lorries were ours before twilight[00:02:18]

High over Dunmaway Town[00:02:21]

Our banners in triumph were waving[00:02:25]

To show that Tans had gone down[00:02:29]

So we gathered our rifles and bayonets[00:02:32]

And soon left the grin so obscure[00:02:36]

And we never drink till we halted[00:02:39]

At the far away camp of Granure[00:02:43]

So here's to the boys of Kilmichael[00:02:47]

Those brave lad so gallant and true[00:02:51]

They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin[00:02:54]

And conquered the red white and blue[00:02:58]
