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

When apples still grow in November
\nWhen blossoms still bloom from each tree
\nWhen leaves are still green in December
\nIt’s then that our land will be free
\nI’ve wandered her hills and her valleys
\nAnd still through her valleys I see
\nA land that has never known freedom
\nAnd only her rivers run free<\/p>\n

I drink to the death of her manhood
\nThose men who’d rather have died
\nThan to live in the cold chains of bondage
\nTo bring back their rights were denied
\nOh, where are you know when we need you
\nWhat burns where the flames used to be
\nAre you gone like the snows of last winter
\nAnd will only our rivers run free<\/p>\n

How sweet is life but we’re crying
\nHow mellow the wine but we’re dry
\nHow fragrant the rose but it’s dying
\nHow gentle the wind but it sighs
\nWhat good is in youth when it’s aging
\nWhat joy is in eyes that can’t see
\nWhen there’s sorrow in sunshine and flowers
\nAnd still only our rivers run free<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
