  1. A Song - Bold Thady Quill (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    A mama said she do you know what will cure me
    Will cure the disease that surely will kill
    Give over your doctoring and medical treatment
    I would rather one shake from bold Tadey Quill
    Chorus
    In the year forty nine when Parnell was taken
    Tadey was rageous breaking the peace
    He spent three long years in the jails of Killmainham.
    And six months hard labour for besting police
    In spite of coercion he still agitated.
    And the blood of his veins he is willing to spill.
    To secure for old Éireann the right of a nation
    Until such is obtained there is no peace for Tim Quill.
    (Chorus)
    Tomás Gleeson from Glounaglough composed it
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
