Gallant Band
Leave me alone On the hills of Shinrowan To talk to the bold Fennian men They're fighting here And they're fighting everywhere Is there nothing left but despair?
They're meeting in the halls They're marching on the Dail
There
seems to be no peaceful common ground Too much a price to pay For peace and freedom and for liberty
let us praise those men of glory And listen to the stories Of Collins, Pearce, and Plunkett And all that gallant band
And always keep our heads high
It won't
be long before we're
The time has long gone past We're getting no where fast
They're
taking all the heat at Downing Street It's time you made your call For freedom and for justice one and all
I'm now far away It's here I want to stay Because of all that fear and disarray I hope someday there'll be a home for you and me Back here in the Isle of Innisfree
