[The Irish Brigade - Seamus Harvey and Gerard McGlynn lyrics]
Farewell to Séamus Harvey goodbye
To Gerard McGlynn
I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
They saw a lot of action
And true courage they did show
'Gainst the occupation forces of
The cruel British foe
Laying mines along the border in
The county of Tyrone
And never did these comrades evеr
Fail to hold their own
Farewell to Séamus Harvеy goodbye
To Gerard McGlynn
I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
That fateful night in August
In the year of '73
They said farewell to loved ones they
Were never more to see
As they moved towards their target
Along that border road
Their bomb was primed and ready
But too early did explode
I'll tell you where it happened
At the customs at Kilclean and please God
Upon that spot there may a
Cross one day be seen
Dedicated to those young men of
The West Tyrone Command
Who fight to raise the green flag
And to free their native land
Farewell to Séamus Harvey goodbye
To Gerard McGlynn
I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
To Gerard McGlynn
I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
They saw a lot of action
And true courage they did show
'Gainst the occupation forces of
The cruel British foe
Laying mines along the border in
The county of Tyrone
And never did these comrades evеr
Fail to hold their own
Farewell to Séamus Harvеy goodbye
To Gerard McGlynn
I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
That fateful night in August
In the year of '73
They said farewell to loved ones they
Were never more to see
As they moved towards their target
Along that border road
Their bomb was primed and ready
But too early did explode
I'll tell you where it happened
At the customs at Kilclean and please God
Upon that spot there may a

Dedicated to those young men of

Farewell to Séamus Harvey goodbye

I hope you're both in heaven
For you did not die in vain
While trying to free your country
Your young lives were blown away
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
But if ever I get to heaven
I will meet you there one day
