Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hurray for brave united men!
I believe this is the correct verison, glad to see after 22 years this post can be fulfilled haha.
The year 1798, the eve of the Battle of Antrim. A time when Christian men united for the Rights of Man
By the harbor wall in sweet Glenarm With trembling hearts, we pledged our hand That neither would we fish nor farm Til Ireland saw the rights of man
Then came the Presbyterian men The truest hearts that graced our glen We'll join with you, good neighbors, and We'll be the brave United Men
CHORUS And the fox and the hare Sprang from their lair And every creature in the glen And the wild woods rang As the songbirds sang Hurra, the brave United Men Hurra, the brave United Men
Every maiden's prayer blest the morning air Our shining fifes they eyed with pride And the sun shone fair through my darling’s hair As she watched me by my father’s side
And my mother's cry: "Son I fear you'll die, but still you are your father’s boy And naught I say could make you stay So here’s a kiss for Henry Joy"
CHORUS And the fox and the hare Sprang from their lair And every creature in the glen And the wild woods rang As the songbirds sang Hurra, the brave United Men Hurra, the brave United Men
And from the Glen came Antrims' men Our banners flew both orange and green With Henry Joy's United Men We swept from Saintfield to Kilkee
But on Antrim’s plain, from amongst the slain My darling dragged me to the glen Now in despair I wonder where I'll hear the cry, "United Men"
CHORUS (x2) And the fox and the hare Sprang from their lair And every creature in the glen And the wild woods rang As the songbirds sang Hurra, the brave United Men Hurra, the brave United Men
And the fox and the hare Sprang from their lair And every creature in the glen And the wild woods rang As the songbirds sang Hurra, the brave United Men Hurra, the brave United Men
