Hi, I checked out a couple of songs and some contributions on this subject. There is another song sung by Niamh Parsons which I've heard and is very good but don't have the lyrics (that's what I was searching for). Chorus goes:
"Who were these men, what was their crime,
for which they were ????????????
did they rob or rape, or was their fate
as the poet once related?
These men of Ireland,
the men whom God made mad:
Their wars were never merry,
but oh! their songs were sad."
