The Irish Brigade - Brendan Convery lyrics

[The Irish Brigade - Brendan Convery lyrics]

It was on a summer's day and
From Dundalk he made his way
Gallant Brendan and his comrades
Brave and bold to Dungannon they did go
Where they faced the ancient foe
And they gave their lives
Our freedom to uphold

You live once again as we
March behind your name
On our banners we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air
We know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free

You live once again as we
March behind your name
On our banners we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air
We know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free



Brendan Convery was his name and
From Maghera he came
Another of South Derry's fighting sons
From his childhood days he swore he'd
See Ireland free once more
It was to the end he bore a fenian gun

You live once again as we
March behind your name
On our banners we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air
We know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free

Well Brendan, you are gone
But the spirit will live on
There wasn't any time for fond farewells
Your sweet young wife and babe will
Shed their tears upon your grave
But while the fight goes on
They know you're living still

You live once again as we
March behind your name
On our banners we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air
We know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free
As you marched so many times for Ireland free
