Rory Omore Lyrics

Strophe:

d C d

Do you ask why the beacon and the banner of war

F C B

On the mountains of Ulster are seen from afar.

d C d

Oh this is the signal our rights to secure,

F C B

4Cause we
trust in God and in Rory O4More.



For the merciless Scots with
their creed and their swords,

With war in their bosoms and peace in their
words,

Have sworn the bright light of our faith to obscure,

But we
trust in God and in Rory O4More.



Refrain:

F C d

On the
green hills of Ulster our banner waves high

B F C

And the beacon of
war blows a flame to the sky.

F C d

On the green hills of Ulster
that is for sure,

G B C d 

We4ll fight for Rory O4More.



Strophe:

Through days and days of war and strife, of hunger and of
woe,

We fought the bitter fight of live against the Saxon foe.

Our
fairest hopes to burst our chains have died in vain regret,

But still the
glorious truth remains - we are not conquered yet!



And if at last
our colour should be torn from Erin4s heart,

Her sons with shame and
sorrow from the dear old isle will part.

But now the taunt and now the
threat let the coward endure,

4Cause we will fight and we will die for
Rory O4More.



Refrain:

Strophe:

Oh lives here the
traitor who4d shrink from the strife,

To add to the lenght of a forfeited
life.

His country, his kindred, his faith would abjure,

We4ll strike
for old Ireland and Rory O4More!
