Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We'll keep the home fire burning... From: Bert Date: 29 Aug 06 - 12:25 AM How does this relate to the WWI song. We'll keep the home fires burning hearts within us yearning though our lads are far away they dream of home. There's a silver lining in the dark clouds shining we'll turn the dark clouds inside out 'till the boys come home. |
Subject: Lyr Add: HOME FIRE (Ron Kavana) From: Jim Dixon Date: 28 Aug 06 - 10:37 PM I have Ron Kavana's CD "Home Fire". In the liner notes, he says: "The first verse was prompted by Dick Gaughan's brilliant singing of FOUR GREEN FIELDS...." The following lyrics are copied from the CD liner notes; I have also listened to the song and verified that the transcription is accurate. HOME FIRE (Ron Kavana) There were four green fields but that was long ago. You've held our loved one hostage for so long. There were four fine sons 'til you took one away, But we'll never give up hope for his return. CHORUS: So we'll keep the home fire burnin', Keep the flame of liberty alive. The fire burns bright in our hearts tonight, For the long lost prodigal's return, Ever mindful of the prodigal's return. The Guildford Four, the Six from Birmingham, All guilty of bein' Irish, nothin' more! After all this time, it's still the bloody same. Can we never expect justice from your courts? CHORUS Divide and rule has ever been your game. You keep the coals of bigotry afire. Just don't dare assume you'll ever win the day. The Irish will rule Ireland in our time. CHORUS |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We'll keep the home fire burning... From: GUEST,weerover Date: 26 Aug 06 - 08:32 AM Here it is as sung by Ron Kavana: HOME FIRE (Words & music by Ron Kavana) We had four green fields, but that was long ago. You've held our loved one hostage for so long. We had four fine sons, 'til you took one away, But we'll never give up hope for his return. CHORUS: And we'll keep the home fire burning, Keep the flame of liberty alive, For the fire burns bright in our hearts tonight, For the long lost prodigal's return, Ever mindful of the prodigal's return. The Guilford Four, the Six from Birmingham, All guilty of being Irish, nothing more. After all this time, it's still the bloody same. Can we never expect justice from your courts? (CHORUS) Divide and rule has ever been your game. You'd keep the fires of bigotry flamed high; But don't dare assume you'll ever win this game. The Irish will rule Ireland in our time! wr |
Subject: Lyr Req: We'll keep the home fire burning... From: Wolfgang Date: 26 Aug 06 - 08:09 AM I've found on the web the following bit and would like to see the whole song: Morning Song by A.W. Donahue ============ 'We'll keep the home fire burning, keep the flame of Liberty alive- For the fire burns bright in our hearts tonight, for the long lost prodigal's return ever mindful of the prodigal's return. -Irish Rebellion Song, circa 1920 Wolfgang |
