Clancy Brothers - Henry Joy слова песни
An Ulsterman I am proud to be>From the Antrim Glens I come.Although I labour by the seaI have followed flag and drum.I have heard the martial tramp of menI`ve seen them fight and die.Ah, lads, I well remember whenI followed Henry Joy.I pulled my boat up from the seaI hid my sails away,I hung my nets on a greenwood treeAnd I scanned the moonlit bay.The boys were out, and the Redcoats too,I kissed my wife goodbye;And in the shade of the greenwood gladeI followed Henry Joy. "In Antrim town the tyrant stood,He tore our ranks with ball,But with a cheer and a pike to clearWe swept them o`er the wall.Our pikes and sabres flushed that day,We won, but lost, ah, why?No matter lads, I fought besideAnd shielded Henry Joy.Ah, boys, for Ireland`s cause we fought;For her and home we bled,Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true,And five to one lay dead,And many a lassie mourned her lad,And mother mourned her boy;For youth was strong in that gallant throngWho followed Henry Joy.
