letra de joe mcmanus - the irish brigade

[verse 1]
in the town of sligo
a boy became a man
he joined the ranks of volunteers
the bravest in the land!
to be an i.r.a. volunteer
filled his heart with joy
this lad of 21 years old
who came from [?]

[verse 2]
he loved the football and the craic
could not stand idly by
ireland’s cause he claimed his own
freedom was his pride
he followed in the footsteps of
his comrade, kevin coen
to fight the british forces in
fermanagh and tyrone

[chorus]
joseph mcm-n-s
went north to join the fight
he fought and died for ireland’s cause
with dignity and pride
in our hearts and in our minds
we’ll always hold him true
joseph mcm-n-s
we’ll remember you
[verse 3]
on active service in belleek
that february morn
engaging british forces
with anger and with scorn
cruel fate tilt him ablow
this lad of 21
our gallant volunteer was k!lled
shot down by a british gun

[verse 4]
his family, they were heartfelt sore
his girlfriend, wrecked with pain
to lose the one they loved so much
they’d never see again
but, though parted they may be
he did not die in vain
they proudly carry on the fight
in memory of his name

[chorus]
joseph mcm-n-s
went north to join the fight
he fought and died for ireland’s cause
with dignity and pride
in our hearts and in our minds
we’ll always hold him true
joseph mcm-n-s
we’ll remember you
[verse 5]
in proud and loving memory of
this volunteer, so brave
words of honor are inscribed
so boldly on his grave
so irish men and women
who fight the british foe
remember joe mcm-n-s
the finest from sligo

[outro]
joseph mcm-n-s
went north to join the fight
he fought and died for ireland’s cause
with dignity and pride
in our hearts and in our minds
we’ll always hold him true
joseph mcm-n-s
we’ll remember you
in our hearts and in our minds
we’ll always hold him true
joseph mcm-n-s
we’ll remember you
