The Irish Brigade - Martin Hurson lyrics

Artist: The Irish Brigade

album: Roll of Honour


Among the hills of green Tyrone an Irish soldier lies
The youthful Martin Hurson who for Ireland gave his life
To uphold his country's dignity he followed Bobby Sands
On hunger strike for human rights till death he took his stand
Through dreary days in that H-Block cage my thoughts return to you
Though beaten low by savage foe your memories saw me through
In tortured nights your prayers
Brought light and soothed my fears and pain
And though I'm gone you must fight on till Ireland is free again
Now gaunt and pale my H-Block Cell my heart still burns aflame
In fondest dreams I drilled it seems among your hills again
A guiding light to lead the fight to free my green Tyrone
The voice of truth for Irish youth to crush the British throne
Farewell my native green Tyrone and you sweet Bernadette
My parents and companions brave I'm watching over you yet
Of Cappagh's braes my childhood days my memories I recall
And so adieu to the land I love true a chairde, slán go fóill
