07 Feb 03 - 06:59 PM (#885114) Subject: Lyr Req: Fighting Men Of Crossmaglen From: Celtic-End Singer I am sure this has come up before but after a good bit of searching through the database and various threads I still can't find the lyrics to this song. I have some of the lyrics, but I'm pretty sure they're not complete. The full thing would be most gratefully appreciated. The chorus is: In Crossmaglen the fire burns true The patriotic flame will never die And when you hear that battlecry It will be those fighting men from Crossmaglen I don't have the full lyrics as I said but if this isn't enough to jog anyone's memory I'll post up the rest of what I remember. I've heard from friends that this is a really well known song (but not well enough that any of them could swear to be sure of the lyrics) and I can only recall hearing it a couple of times myself, but if as I suspect may be the case, this is really well known and I appear to be a bit thick, please forgive my ignorance. |

I have no sympathy with them and would post similar lyrics from the loyalist perspective for the same reason. THE FIGHTING MEN OF CROSSMAGLEN I'll sing a song, of the bravest men, That famous fighting unit from Armagh, They are the men, of Crossmaglen, Among the bravest Ireland's ever saw- where? In Crossmaglen, the fire burns true, The patriotic flame will never die, And when you hear the battlecry, It will be the fighting men of Crossmaglen At night you'll hear, the SOMETHING's roar, Armalites are heard across the land, The IRA, their spirits soar, They know the reckoning has come to hand - where? In Crossmaglen, the fire burns true... That British scum, they do fear, That ne'er again they'll see their cursed shore - why? Because they know, that they'll pay dear, The boys will even Ireland's bloody score - where? In Crossmaglen, the fire burns true... (I'll listen to the recording again and see if I can make out the missing word). |

They'll not give up untill they're free Till Ireland is out of Britain's hands They'll never rest untill they see Brittannia's rule driven from our land (tiocfaidh ar la) |
