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

‘Twas down the glen one Easter morn
\nTo a city fair rode I.
\nWhen Ireland’s line of marching men
\nIn squadrons passed me by.
\nNo pipe did hum, no battle drum
\nDid sound its dread tattoo
\nBut the Angelus bell o’er the Liffey’s swell
\nRang out in the foggy dew.<\/p>\n

Right proudly high over Dublin town
\nThey hung out a flag of war.
\n‘Twas better to die ‘neath an Irish sky
\nThan at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
\nAnd from the plains of Royal Meath
\nStrong men came hurrying through;
\nWhile Brittania’s sons with their long-range guns
\nSailed in from the foggy dew.<\/p>\n

‘Twas England bade our wild geese go
\nThat small nations might be free.
\nTheir lonely graves are by Suvla’s waves
\nOn the fringe of the grey North Sea.
\nBut had they died by Pearse’s side
\nOr fought with Cathl Brugha*,
\nTheir graves we’d keep where the Fenians sleep
\n‘Neath the hills of the foggy dew.<\/p>\n

The bravest fell, and the solemn bell
\nRang mournfully and clear
\nFor those who died that Eastertide
\nIn the springing of the year.
\nAnd the world did gaze in deep amaze
\nAt those fearless men and true
\nWho bore the fight that freedom’s light
\nMight shine through the foggy dew.<\/p>\n
