  1. A Local Hero

    Share Share Post
    Song in memory of Patrick Walsh, a local hero of the Black and Tan times,
    I
    I will sing to-night of a hero bold
    Who died in a noble cause;
    He gave his life in a bloody strife
    Against cruel lands and laws.
    He left his dear old father's side
    And his happy home one day,
    To fight for Irish freedom at the dawning of the May.
