An Cat Dubh Set Ireland Free Lyrics

Set Ireland Free Lyrics

Strophe:

G e D 

We read in history pages of the heroes of great
fame.

G G e D

The deeds they done and battles won and how they made
their name.

C G C e

But the boys who wrote the history of the
Orange, White and Green,

C G D

Are the boys who died in Dublin town
in 1916.



There were some boys from Kerry, some boys from County
Clare,

From Carlow, Wexford, Donegal, and boys from old Kildare.

Some boys came from america, from Boston and New York.

But the boys
who bate the Black 4n4 Tans were the boys from County Cork.



Refrain:

G D a e 

We seem to be divided but I really don4t know
why.

G D C D

We had brave men and heroes, and for Ireland they did
die.

G D a e

Now why not get together and join in unity,

G D
C D

The North, the South, the East and West will set old Ireland free.



Strophe:

From Cork came brave McSweeney, a hero he did die.

From Wicklow came Paul Brady in days so long gone by.

And Dublin gave
us Padraic Pearse, McBride and Cathal Brugha.

DeValera from America had
to lead our country through.
