Rebel Songs of 1798 Rising | Irish Rebel Music 

get used to it! Those heroes fought agst great odds to free their people from foreign domination, just as did Connolly, Pearse and our heroes. You, I suppose think colonialism is OK, except for our oppressors!

FYI Ho was no Chinese puppet. If you took the time to study Vietnam's struggle for freedom (actually a lot like Ireland's) you would know that. As for el Che, his dad's last name was Guevara Lynch, and he once said,"the first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels."

Yes, listening for the first time and song two is playing .... I came for the Irish Songs ... not socialist nonsense!

YOU brought up the stupid redbaiting!

@@larusoskar6707 leaders of the easter rising were generally left/socialist! Conservatives were all pro-colonial, anti-irish. i didnt bring it up, but answered the "redbaiter" who attacked leaders ofthe rebellion

i do aye i will try to remember. please pardon any spelling or grammar errors. i believe this is the true full song His great coat and his sash of green were clean and stainless then A banner flashed beneath the sun, unto the marching men His coat has many a rent this noon, his sash is torn away and young roddy Mccorley goes to die on the bridge of tome today oh see the faithful host of men, who speed with faces drawn, from barnstead and from fishers cot, a long the banks of bahn. They have come with vengeance in their eyes to late to late are they... for young RoddyMcCorley goes to die, on the bridge of taum today oh up that narrow street he stepped smiling proud and young. about the hemp rope on his neck the golden ringlets clung. There was neir a tear in his blue, blue eyes, but sad and bright were they for young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of taum today when he last stepped up the street, his shining pike in hand behind him masked in grim array an stalward earnest band for antrum town for antrum town he led them to the fray, and young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of taum today oh how his pike flashed to the sun, and found the foe mans heart. through furious fight and heavy odds, he bore a true mans part aye and many a red coat bit the dust before his keen pike play and young Roddy McCorley goes to die, on the bridge of taum today. oh Ireland mother Ireland, you love them still the best. Those fearless men who fighting fall, upon your hapless breast oh and never a one of all your dead more bravely fell in fray than he who marches to his fate on the bridge of taum today Because he loved his motherland because he loved the green he goes to meet a martyrs fate with proud and and joyous mien true true to the last, true to the last, he tread the upwards way and young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of taum today. RIP fenians we love and we pour out drink to each of you. may heaven be your home
