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

Laws were made for people and the law can never scorn
\nThe right of a man to be free<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nFree the people, let them have their say
\nFree the people, let them see the light of day<\/p>\n

Addys Madden was breaking when they took her man away
\nNot knowing what was his crime
\nJust what he was guilty of not one of them could say
\nBut they think of something in time
\nHe says “Goodbye and remember, we shall overcome”<\/p>\n

Comforting her children softly crying in the night
\nShe tries very hard to explain
\n“You know your daddy never did a thing that wasn’t right
\nSo soon he’s bound to be home again
\nHe is a good man and he shall overcome”<\/p>\n

But does is profit him, the right to be born
\nIf he suffers the loss of liberty
\nLaws were made for people and the law can never scorn
\nThe right of a man to be free
\nWe are the people and we shall overcome
\nWe are the people and we shall overcome<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
