Family Kelly Take Away Lyrics

Take Away Lyrics

18 years old I ran the farm

These men came in with arms

They burned the house they took our lands

They broke us living plants

My father said if you wanna live

Then fight them like a man

So I punched their nose and I kicked their ass

But then my hands were cuffed



Chorus:

Take away 4x my son

Take away 4x my son

Get a little heartbreak,get a little soul

Give a little heartbreak,give a little soul



6 hungry years behind the bars was not enough for me

To change my mind to fightin' for my brothers on country

So at 24 I got on a horse and fought my enemy

But at the fields of play they shot me in the back

Oh at least I did die free



Chorus



Now my body's dead but the spirit lives

Up here with all the saints

St.Patrick and I are having fun,drinking tons of beer

Meanwhile on Earth the irish clans

Are fighting for their lands

I wish I were there with a gun in my hand

Fighting for them to be free



Chorus
