\/>\nTill a sudden thought came to my mind, that I should roam away<br \/>\nFor I&#8217;m sick and tried of slavery, since the day that I was born<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re off to see the IRA and we&#8217;re off tomorrow morn<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re all off to Dublin in the green, in the green<br \/>\nWhere the helmets glisten in the sun<br \/>\nWhere the bayonets flash and the rifles crash<br \/>\nTo the rattle of the Thompson gun<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave aside my pick and spade, I&#8217;ll leave aside my plough<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll leave aside my horse and yoke, I no longer need them now<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;ll take my short revolver and my bandoleer all so<br \/>\nAnd with me comrades by my side, I&#8217;ll face the foreign foe<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave aside my Mary, she&#8217;s the girl that I adore<br \/>\nAnd I wonder will she think of me when she hears the rifles roar<br \/>\nAnd when the war is over and dear old Ireland&#8217;s free<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll take her to the church to wed and a rebel&#8217;s wife she&#8217;ll be<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n<p>Well some men fight for silver and some men fight for gold<br \/>\nBut the IRA is fighting for the land that the Saxon&#8217;s stole<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a merry ploughboy and I plough the fields all day Till a sudden thought came
