Ireland United together and Free!

I'd gladly serve in the IRA during the Civil War of 1923. Up the rebels American Volunteer.

the most goosebumps i'v ever had from a song...totally haunting and fierce..the way the melody rises high and noble..definitely a bitter sweet song of triumph and struggle. x

The hardships of the Irish people have made it stronger for ever.

I'll be the man to lead the van, beneath the flag of green And loud and high we'll raise the cry, "Revenge for Skibbereen!"

Maximum respect from England......

May Ireland's blood be the cure for oppression, we will have our day

Eat your heart out, Ennio Morricone!

O, Father dear, I ofttimes heard you talk of Erin's Isle Her valleys green, her lofty scene, her mountains rude and wild You said it was a pleasant place wherein a prince might dwell Why have you then forsaken her, the reason to me tell? My son, I loved our native land with energy and pride Until a blight fell on the land and sheep and cattle died The rents and taxes were to pay, I could not them redeem And that's the cruel reason why I left Old Skibbereen It's well I do remember on a bleak November's day The landlord and his agent came to drive us all away He set my house on fire with his demon yellow spleen And that's another reason why I left Old Skibbereen Your mother, too, God rest her soul, lay on the snowy ground She fainted in her anguish of the desolation round She never rose, but went her way from life to death's long dream And found a quiet grave, my boy, in lovely Skibbereen It's well I do remember the year of forty-eight When we arose with Erin's boys to fight against our fate I was hunted through the mountains as a traitor to the Queen And that's another reason that I left Old Skibbereen

From a person with not a single drop of Irish blood in my body, I love Ireland, it's people and it's culture.

ireland hero's the fight will go on Eire 32
