The Dubliners - Wrap The Green Flag Around Me lyrics
[The Dubliners - Wrap The Green Flag Around Me lyrics]
The history of Ireland's a history of
Oppression and the struggle of the
People against it the history of
Grasping landlords and conniving politicians
Who sought to deprive the
People of their birthright
At regular times in Ireland's past
These grievances have boiled over and
The ordinary people have
Acted in the only way open to them: rebellion
Oh, wrap the green flag 'round me, boys
To die werе far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblеm, boys
To be my winding sheet
In life, I loved to see it wave
And follow where it led
But now my eyes grow dim, my hand
Would grasp it's last bright shred
Then wrap the green flag 'round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
Oppression and the struggle of the
People against it the history of
Grasping landlords and conniving politicians
Who sought to deprive the
People of their birthright
At regular times in Ireland's past
These grievances have boiled over and
The ordinary people have
Acted in the only way open to them: rebellion
Oh, wrap the green flag 'round me, boys
To die werе far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblеm, boys
To be my winding sheet
In life, I loved to see it wave
And follow where it led
But now my eyes grow dim, my hand
Would grasp it's last bright shred
Then wrap the green flag 'round me, boys
To die were far more sweet
With Erin's noble emblem, boys
To be my winding sheet
