Clancy Brothers - The Men Of The West слова песни
The Men of the West (William Rooney)When you honor in song and in storyThe names of the patriot men,Whose valor has covered with gloryFull many a mountain and glen,Forget not the boys of the heatherWho rallied their bravest and bestWhen Ireland was broken in WexfordAnd looked for revenge to the West.cho: I give you the gallant old West, boys, Where rallied our bravest and best When Ireland lay broken and bleeding; Hurrah for the men of the West!The hilltops with glory were glowing`Twas the eve of a bright harvest day,When the ship we`d been wearily waitingSailed into Killala`s broad bay.And over the hills went the sloganTo awaken in every breastThe fire that has never been quenched, boys,Among the true hearts of the West.cho:Killala was ours ere the midnight,And high over Ballina townOur banners in triumph were wavingBefore the next sun had gone down.We gathered to speed the good work, boysThe true men from near and afar;And history can tell how we routedThe redcoats through old Castlebar.cho:And pledge me the stout sons of France, boys,Bold Humbert and all his brave men,Whose tramp, like the trumpet of battle,Brought hope to the drooping again.Since Ireland has caught to her bosomOn many a mountain and hillThe gallants who fell, so they`re here, boys,To cheer us to victory still.cho:Though all the bright dreamings we cherishedWent down in disaster and woe,The spirit of old is still with usThat never would bend to the foe.And Connaught is ready wheneverThe loud rolling tuck of the drumRings out to awaken the echoesAnd tell us the morning has come.cho:Recorded by Clancys, Patrick Galvinfilename[ MENWESTplay.exe ROSINBOWRG===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
