Old Songs (continued)
“It was a Sunday evening in the blooming month of June”
(continued from previous page)We have brave Fr. Ferris too who is true to Ireland's cause
Whose Celtic blood would not submit to Balfour nor his laws.They marched our priest to prison cell to make our spirits fail
But OBrien shouts back to Balfour "we would rather die in jail
Cheer up my native Erin the day will soon shine bright
When Balfour and his garrison will have to take their flight
From Cork to Belfast city and that you'll plainly see.
We'll have the flag of freedom to float on College Green.
