Attend you gallant Irishmen and listen for a while |
| [00:09.15] |
I'll sing to you the praises of the sons of Erin's Isle |
| [00:13.26] |
It's of those gallant heroes who voluntarily ran |
| [00:17.39] |
To release two Irish shamrocks from an English prison van |
| [00:21.71] |
The eighteenth of September,it was in that dreadful year |
| [00:26.42] |
When sorrow and excitement ran throughout all Lancashire |
| [00:30.25] |
At a gathering of the Irish boys they volunteered each man |
| [00:34.53] |
To release those Irish prisoners out of the prison van |
| [00:39.05] |
Hurrah!My lads for freedom,let's all join heart and hand |
| [00:43.15] |
May the Lord have mercy on the boys that helped to smash the van |
| [00:47.64] |
In Manchester one morning those good heroes did agree |
| [00:52.24] |
Their leaders,Kelly and Deasy,should have their liberty |
| [00:56.52] |
They drank a health to Ireland,and soon made up a plan |
| [01:00.52] |
To meet the prisoners on the road and take and smash the van |
| [01:05.00] |
Hurrah!My lads for freedom,let's all join heart and hand |
| [01:08.96] |
May the Lord have mercy on the boys that helped to smash the van |
| [01:13.74] |
With courage bold those heroes went and soon the van did stop |
| [01:17.99] |
They cleared the guards from back and front and then smashed in the top |
| [01:21.96] |
But in blowing open of the lock,they chanced to kill a man |
| [01:26.25] |
So three must die on the scaffold high for smashing of the van |
| [01:31.09] |
Hurrah!My lads for freedom,let's all join heart and hand |
| [01:35.00] |
May the Lord have mercy on the boys that helped to smash the van |
| [01:39.73] |
So now kind friends I will conclude,I think it would be right |
| [01:43.93] |
That all true-hearted Irishmen together should unite |
| [01:48.36] |
Together should sympathise,my friends,and do the best we can |
| [01:52.28] |
To keep the memories ever green of the boys that smashed the van |
| [01:57.06] |
Hurrah!My lads for freedom,let's all join heart and hand |
| [02:01.04] |
May the Lord have mercy on the boys that helped to smash the van |
