Subject: RE: Irish Republican ballards - need advice
I like those beautiful sad verses in `Erin go Bragh`,one of which I can re-call,

A great foreign Captain was boasting that day,

saying give me three hours and i`ll blow them away,

but a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his craw,

and he died of lead poison in Erin bo bragh.
