Can anyone help me with the lyrics to this song? I dunno which is the proper name for it as I've seen it called both, but the chorus goes...

Give me the Irish Republican Army
Give me the Green, White and Gold every time.
Give me the Three-Leafed Shamrock of Ireland.
A land that I love so divine.

Send the English back where they came from (TO HELL!)
Make our land ours once again.
Give me the Irish Republican Army.
To make our land a nation once again.

Irish Republican Army



chorus



Give me the Irish Republican Give me the green white & Gold Every time

Give me the three-leafed shamrock of Ireland the land I love so fine

We�ll Send the brits back home to where they came from

They�re going to run from our brave fighting men

Give me the Irish republican army

We�ll make our land a nation once again



Side by side our heroes died

Pearse and the great Wolfe Tone

Bobby Sands, James Connolly

And the brave Sean South from Garryowen

And though they�re gone, we�ll carry on

We�ll make our country free

Give me the Irish Republican Army

We�ll make our land the land of Liberty



chorus

Give me the Irish Republican Army,
Give me the Green, White, and Gold every time.
Give me the three-leaved shamrock of Ireland,
A land I love that is so divine.
Send the English back where they came from,
Give us our country back again.
Give me the Irish Republican Army,
To make our land a nation once again.

Side by side, our heroes died,
Answering Ireland's only call.
All through the years, blood, sweat & tears,
They fought from Cork to Donegal.
Although they're gone, we struggle on,
For Ireland united and free.
So don't give in, for we must win
For a land of peace and liberty.

Chorus

James Connolly, Cathal Brugha,
Pearse and the brave Wolfe Tone,
Sean McNellis, Bobby Sands,
And Sean South from Garryowen.
Armagh, and Derry, Belfast City,
They still struggle to be free
So Irishmen, unite again,
To make a land of peace and liberty.

Chorus

I realised that I failed to introduce myself properly: I'm a non-Irish lad with the habit to ask silly questions about Irish stuff.
The question that intrigues me at the moment concerns the colours of the national flag of the Republic of Ireland. As far as I know these are clearly described as "Green, white and orange", but in many song lyrics the colours are described as "Green, white and gold". The question is obvious now: why is that? I just can't image that these song writers are colour-blind.
Although I sleep quite well despite this pressing question (thank you), I definitely would like to know the answer.

Simple it's green white and orange.

In footie, Celtic supporters of the thick variety call it gold because the can't see the significance of the orange.

Dumb bassas :wacko:

Yes the flag is green white and orange but there is a real reason why it has been called green white and gold. Read this

so don't call people "dumb bassas" without knowing the facts!! :P

Actually, I am against calling it "gold". I believe in Wolfe Tone, I believe we can unite all Irishmen regardless of their religion. And Wolfe Tone in my opinion has defined what true republicanism is. Anyway, we are not colour blind. Calling it gold doesn't make it less orange.

I know the facts mon brave- I've lived in Scotland and followed footie for over forty years.

Literate Celtic supporters and Irish people call the tricolour Green white and Orange.
Only bhigots call it green white and gold 'cos they can't acknowledge the protestants in the north.
