[00:00.00]The Boys of the Old Brigade - Shamrog/Cormac O'Moore
[00:05.42]Oh father why are you so sad
[00:08.92]On this bright Easter morn'
[00:12.48]When Irish men are proud and glad
[00:15.95]Of the land that they were born
[00:19.49]Oh son I see in mem'ries few
[00:23.02]Of far off distant days
[00:26.42]When mine was just a lad like you
[00:29.97]I joined the ira o lay
[00:33.53]Where are the lads that stood with me
[00:37.05]When history was made
[00:40.47]A Ghra Mo Chroi I long to see
[00:43.89]The boys of the old brigade
[00:47.41]From hills and farms a call to arms
[00:50.83]Was heard by one and all
[00:54.22]And from the glen came brave young men
[00:57.59]To answer Ireland's call
[01:01.03]'T wasn't long ago we faced a foe
[01:04.57]The old brigade and me
[01:07.94]And by my side they fought and died
[01:11.31]That Ireland might be free
[01:14.87]Where are the lads that stood with me
[01:18.31]When history was made
[01:21.67]A Ghra Mo Chroi I long to see
[01:25.01]The boys of the old brigade
[01:28.56]And now my boy I've told you why
[01:31.90]On Easter morn' I sigh
[01:35.31]For I recall my comrades all
[01:38.75]And dark old days gone by
[01:42.16]I think of men who fought in glen
[01:45.59]With rifle and grenade
[01:49.02]May heaven keep the men who sleep
[01:52.29]From the ranks of the old brigade
[01:55.80]Where are the lads that stood with me
[01:59.23]When history was made
[02:02.55]A Ghra Mo Chroi I long to see
[02:05.90]The boys of the old brigade
[02:09.23]Where are the lads that stood with me
[02:12.76]When history was made
[02:16.07]A Ghra Mo Chroi I long to see
[02:19.51]The boys of the old brigade
