THE BOYS OF KILMICHAEL
Whilst we honor in song and in story
The memory of Pearse and MacBride
Whose fame is illumined in story
With martyrs who long since have died
Forget not the boys of Kilmichael
Who feared not the might of the foe
The day that they marched into battle
They laid all the Black and Tans low
Refrain:
So here's to the boys of Kilmichael
Those brave men so gallant and true
Who fought neath the green flag of Erin
To conquer the Red, White and Blue
On the 28th day of November
The Tans left the town of Macroom
They were armed (?)
Which led them right into their doom
They were on their way to Dunmanway
Who never expected to stall
When they met with the boys of the column
Which made a clean sweep of them all
(Refrain)
The sun to the west it was sinking
Twas the eve of a cold winter's day
When the Tans we were wearily waiting
Rolled into the spot where they lay
And over the hill rang the echo
The sound of each rifle and gun
The blaze from the lorries gave tidings
That the boys of Kilmichael had won
(Refrain)
The lorries were ours before twilight
And high over Dunmanway town
Our banners in triumph are waving
To show that the Tans had gone down
We gathered their rifles and bayonets
And then left that glen so obscure
And never drew reins till we halted
At the faraway camp of Granure
(Refrain)
Wolfgang
