Great Fenian Ram - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

Near the town of Liscannor in the county of Clare[00:00:10]

Where many great Irishmans plans were laid bare[00:00:15]

You saw the wild sea's as you stood on the heath[00:00:19]

And wondered and gazed at the ocean beneath[00:00:24]

Your life of religion was never to be[00:00:28]

You soon found your way to the land of the free[00:00:33]

In the state of New Jersey you perfected your plan [00:00:37]

And your work was un veiled as the great fenian ram[00:00:41]

Some men for adventure have planned for the stars[00:00:46]

And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars[00:00:51]

But you worked and you labored[00:00:55]

To build your wild dream[00:00:57]

That you'd be the man with the first submarine[00:00:59]

Now O'Donovan Rossa Bold Breslan Devoy[00:01:04]

Knew that Holland's invention was real and no toy[00:01:08]

For to take on the ships of the British Navy[00:01:13]

And all would be done now from under the sea[00:01:17]

The English protested to Old Uncle Sam[00:01:21]

About the mischievous boat called[00:01:26]

The Great Fenian Ram[00:01:28]

Oh he's just an inventor we've got nothing to hide[00:01:30]

John Bull was so angry when the Yankees replied[00:01:34]

Some men for adventure have planned for the stars[00:01:39]

And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars[00:01:43]

But you worked and you labored[00:01:48]

To build your wild dream[00:01:50]

That you'd be the man with the first submarine[00:01:52]

Neath the waves of the ocean this craft was at home[00:01:57]

And the Fenians had plans for this boat for to roam[00:02:01]

In the Passaic River your friends were amazed[00:02:05]

As your ship moved so silent neath the rivers and waves[00:02:09]

An attack on the Empire was prevented by spies[00:02:14]

And the cause was all crushed mid dissension and lies[00:02:18]

But Uncle Sam's Navy was so proud of the boat[00:02:23]

That the Holland's the name of the first sub afloat[00:02:27]

Some men for adventure have planned for the stars[00:02:31]

And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars[00:02:36]

But you worked and you labored[00:02:40]

To build your wild dream[00:02:42]

That you'd be the man with the first submarine[00:02:44]

Here as I stand beside New York Bay[00:02:49]

I can see all the ways you are remembered today[00:02:53]

For your name is all written on tunnels and ships[00:02:57]

On the streets of New York and on New Jersey's slips[00:03:01]

So be proud sons of Erin an Irishman he[00:03:06]

John Holland the first for to voyage 'neath the sea[00:03:10]

Leet the Statue of Liberty a beacon shine free[00:03:15]

For John Holland the first for to voyage 'neath the sea [00:03:19]

Some men for adventure have planned for the stars[00:03:23]

And others had hoped to see Venus or Mars[00:03:28]

But you worked and you labored[00:03:32]

To build your wild dream[00:03:34]

That you'd be the man with the first submarine[00:03:36]
