They Wounded Old Ireland

Andy M Stewart

作词 : Stewart

Come gather 'round you freeborn men

And draw your chairs to mine.

And I'll tell you of my country,

That you might understand.

And of the

English armies,

That marched in for to stay.

Oh that night they wounded

Old Ireland,

And she's bleeding to this day.

Their dogs of war were loosed to run

And hunt the rebels down

They hoped to rule this land by fear

And hold it for the

Crown But a mighty thought was born in

Men When they killed

James Connolly

Oh that night they wounded

Old Ireland

And she's bleeding to this day.

The Border lies like an open wound

That only love can heal

For bitterness and cruelty

They will never close the weal

The mean of vision built a dream

Which the blind men stole away

Ah that night they wounded old

Ireland And she's bleeding to this day.

My heart it holds a vision clear

That thousands more can see

Of Ireland free from hatred

And death and bigotry

Where Irishman to

Irishman Can in friends clasp a hand

If we banish fright from the

Ulster night

Then we'll free

Old Ireland.
