    “we'll raise the flag of freedom”

    Share Share Post
    Cheer up my boys with heart and hand and think of New Year's Day.
    We'll raise the flag of freedom with our banners bright and gay as we marched through Sekreen we wore the green and cheered every one
    To give freedom to old Ireland and a happy New Year's Day.
    2
    The mountains below us they smiled with joy
    As we crossed o'er the moor
    As we went down the ladies' brae.
    We viewed Tír Éirigh's shore
    The boys they came to meet us,
    As we marched in ranks so gay and the harp of Erin's freedom it was sounded on New Year's Day.
    The Collooney boys all came there from Easkey and Dromore.
