Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where are the lads that stood with me
\nwhen histoy was made
\noh gran mo cree I long to see
\nThe boys of the old brigade<\/p>\n

Oh father why are you so sad
\non this bright easter morn
\nwhen Irishmen are proud and glad
\nof the land where they were born
\nOh son I see sad memories
\nof far off distant days
\nwhen being just a boy like you
\nI joined the old brigade<\/p>\n

chor<\/p>\n

In the hills and farms the call to arms
\nwas heard by one and all
\nand from the glens came brave young men
\nto answer Irelands call
\ntwas long ago we faced the foe
\nthe old brigade and me
\nby my side they fought and died
\nthat Ireland might be free<\/p>\n

break chorus<\/p>\n

and now my boy I’ve told you why
\non easter morn I sigh
\nfor I recall my comrades all
\nfrom the dark old days gone by
\nI think of men who fought in glens
\nwith rifles and grenade
\nmay heaven keep the men who sleep
\nfrom the ranks of the old brigade<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
