I'm looking for the words to this song, I last heard it sung a few years ago, but lately heard the air of it on a radio documentary, and has brought it to mind again.
It is quite a long song about the Irish up rising, and the following are only snippets of verses in no particular order that i can remeber.


They found him in a cellar, just a boy of 17
fighting for his country, He was dying for the green....

They didn't call them rebels then,
they used patriots instead

There's silence up in leinster House
Where words are seldom scarce.....

And there's tea and cakes in Downing street.....

They said he was a rebel then,
But He's a hero now
(^ closing line of the song ^)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
