Cruachan - Cath Na Brioscai lyrics
Artist: Cruachan
album: Nine Years of Blood
Crown forces were under siege
In the county of Fermanagh
So a resupply was sent
To offer aid and bring relief
♪
Henry Duke, he led the way
Of this small relief force
He expected no resistance
The Irish had other plans!
♪
Their march would take four days
They were laden with food supplies
Riflemen hid in the woods
Targeting soldiers as they could
♪
The Irish attacked in force
At the ford of the Arney River
The ambush was absolute
The resupply was abandoned
The survivors fled to Cavan
Their defeat did cause alarm
Fresh troops were sent from England
A change of tactics was at hand!
In the county of Fermanagh
So a resupply was sent
To offer aid and bring relief
♪
Henry Duke, he led the way
Of this small relief force

The Irish had other plans!

They were laden with food supplies
Riflemen hid in the woods
Targeting soldiers as they could

The Irish attacked in force
At the ford of the Arney River
The ambush was absolute
The resupply was abandoned
The survivors fled to Cavan
Their defeat did cause alarm
Fresh troops were sent from England
A change of tactics was at hand!
