The Battering Ram also sang:

We'll stand by Daly and Larkin
By the Provisionals and Sullivan the Bold
And we'll break down the English connections
And we'll win back the nation you sold

And up in Ulster we're fighting on for freedom
For our people they yearn to be free
You executed those men who fought for us
With a hangman from over the sea

The writer of the notes to album stated that in his research he could find no reference to 'Sullivan the Bold'.

For the second verse quoted above, they sang: 'And your hands with their blood are still gory'.

Cheers, Stewie.
