Gallant Band
Leave me  a-lone  On the hills of Shin-rowan,to talk to the-bold Fennian-men
They're fighting-here and they're fighting everywhere, Is there nothing left but des-pair
They're meeting in the halls - They're marching on the-Dail, there seems to be no peaceful common ground, I hear some people say too much a price to pay
for peace and freedom and for liberty
                        
Chorus
 
Let us praise those men of glory,      
And listen to the stories    
Of Collins, Pearce, and Plunkett
and all that gallant band.
We will rally around the flag boys,      
and always keep our heads high  
It won't be long before we're
a nation once again
                   
The time has long gone past
We're getting no where fast
They're taking all the heat at Downing Street
Dublin's' Tachta Dail 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
