Thread Name: Lyr Add: A new Irish rebel song: Starry Plough
Subject: RE: A new Irish rebel song: Starry Plough
Okay, okay. I'm an idiot I suppose! It's called having too much on my mind and working too fast.

In my last posting I "corrected" my verse with a new incorrection!

Just as it was pointed out that Limerick is in Munster, so too Kildare and Meath are in Leinster.

Here is the verse with slight changes:

And then in 1919
Limerick's workers rose in numbers.
In Wexord, Meath and Kildare too
they rose up from their slumbers.
The power of the Master class
they did turn upside down.
They fanned the flames of freedom
and they raised the Starry Plough.

This is why I need an editor.
