Frank McGrath Lyr: Here I am from Donegal/Do Me Justice (15) RE: Lyr? Here I am from Donegal 03 May 01


Summarising the long winded drivel.

In 19th century Irish vernacular use of the English language, "we'll play it cool " can mean, "we'll defend our position strongly".

Taking the line of the song "we'll play it cool and speak up for Old Ireland", this would translate to;
"we'll defend our position strongly and speak up for Old Ireland".
