The Barleycorn - Boys of the Old Brigade lyrics

Artist: The Barleycorn

album: Live at the Embankment (Live)


Oh father why are you so sad
On this bright Easter morn
When Irishmen are proud and glad
Of the land where they were born
Son I see in memories few
In far off distant days
When being just a boy like you
I joined the IRA
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made
Oh gra mo chroi I long to see
The boys of the old brigade
From hills and farms the call to arms
Was heard by one and all
And from the glen came brave young men
To answer Ireland's call
'Twas long ago we faced the foe
The old brigade and me
But by my side they fought and died
That Ireland might be free
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made
Oh gra mo chroi I long to see
The boys of the old brigade
And now boy I've told you why
On Easter morn I sigh
When I recall my comrades all
From dark old days gone by
I think of men who fought in glens
With rifle and grenade
May heaven keep the men who sleep
From the ranks of the old brigade
Where are the lads who stood with me
When history was made
Oh gra mo chroi I long to see
The boys of the old brigade
