Kavana, G. Lupari; tune: trad.) You Irishmen so true and brave who would auld Ireland save From those of cruel persuasion out to destroy this nation Let us all united stand, stop the bold oppressor's band Not with bomb or gun in hand but by truth and understanding Who fears to speak of ninety-eight on the road to Stormont's gate From Vinegar Hill a lesson learned, all good men join together Seize the chance before it's gone, sing aloud this joyous song This land is ours all and one by truth and understanding Let reconciliation be our watchword for the future Let's build a bridge of peace to stand for coming generations Don't go back to how it was, to killing men for freedom's cause Observe our common Christian laws of truth and understanding So Irishmen be true and brave, if you would old Ireland save From those of cruel persuasion out to destroy this nation Let us all united stand, stop the bold oppressor's band Not with bomb or gun in hand but by truth and understanding |
