letra de fenians of the rock - the irish brigade

[verse 1]
oh gather ’round you people, and the truth to you i’ll tell
of a band of young fenians in dumbarton town did dwell
they were just young lads of fenian blood, for freedom they would die
and they stood up to those billy boys on the 12fth day of july

[verse 2]
on the 12fth day of july, me boys, to old dumbarton town
came 50,000 orangemen all loyal to the crown
they marched along the high street, their banners flying high
singing “up to yer neck in fenian blood, surrender or ye’ll die”
[chorus]
so here’s to those gallant lads in dumbarton town that day
they helped to stop the orange walk on it’s annivеrsary
they showed that they did not rеspect king billy or the crown
and they showed those cowardly billly boys that croppy’s won’t lie down

[verse 3]
but when they reached dumbarton cross they got a h-ll of a shock
for standing there undaunted, were the fenians of the rock
we chased them up the high street, to the shipyards gate
like our fathers did in years gone by in the year of ’98

[verse 4]
for they knew they were defeated and they made a h-ll of a noise
crying “polis please protect us and guard us from the bhoys!”
for the fenian blood had risen like the phoenix from the flame
that day they made them change “the sash” to “a nation once again”

[chorus]
so here’s to those gallant lads in dumbarton town that day
they helped to stop the orange walk on it’s anniversary
they showed that they did not respect king billy or the crown
and they showed those cowardly billly boys that croppy’s won’t lie down
so here’s to those gallant lads in dumbarton town that day
they helped to stop the orange walk on it’s anniversary
they showed that they did not respect king billy or the crown
and they showed those cowardly billly boys that croppy’s won’t lie down
