Hi,
Im searching for lyrics of following songs:

The grand aul' dame Britannia
Glory-o to the bold Fenian men
Force of Argument - Lament of Limerick

Does anybody have the Lyrics?

want to add the song "CryCryCry"

got the Song Collection "Irish Songs of Rebellion, Resistance and Reconciliation" from the Alias Acoustic Band, but cant find any lyrics :(

The Bold Fenian Men

'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming
I see them again, sure, in all my daydreaming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.

Some died on the glenside, some died near a stranger
And wise men have told us that their cause was a failure
But they fought for old Ireland and they never feared danger
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
We may have brave men, but we'll never have better
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men


Is it this one?

Force of Argument was a prosa text written by Ron Kevana, afaik...
I'll ask again... or write it down while listening...

Sl�n

Was wondering if you can tell me what song this is?

time will never sanctify the reasons why
in prison cells and lonely hells our hunger strikers died
show me an english man who starved until he died
but Irish men have done it with honor and with pride
you stand acused of mureder their blood is on your hands


I would lik eto have this song if any one can help?


:ph34r: SOI

YOU STAND ACCUSED OF MURDER (MEN OF �81)


The mists of time will honour this, the year of �81

When ten brave gallant Irishmen, a hunger-strike begun,

You might as well have shot them like the men of Easter week,

You knew they wouldn�t bend their knee, you knew they wouldn�t break


[chorus]


You stand accused of murder their blood is on your hands,

Of Francis Hughes, Ray McCreesh, Joe McDonnell, Bobby Sands,

Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Thomas McElwee,

Mickey Divine, Patsy O�Hara and Keiron Doherty.



Time will never sanctify the reasons why,

In prison cells, in lonely hells our hunger-strikers died

Show me an English man who�d starve until he died,

But Irishmen have done it with honour and with pride.



800 years is far too long the time has come to leave,

You�ve butchered and you�ve plundered, you�ve murdered and deceived,

But we promise we will never give up our human rights

To defend the men of �81 in their final lonely fight.



That is the name of and is the song in it's entirety and if you want the song I have it
