The Bold Fenian Men (an Irish rebel song, sung by Eddie Biggins)

The Bold Fenian Men (Michael Scanlan) See who comes over the red blossomed heather Their green banners kissing the pure mountain air Heads erect eyes front, stepping proudly together Freedom sits throned on each proud spirit there Down the hill twining, their blessed steel shining Like rivers of beauty that flow from each glen From mountain and valley, 'tis Liberty's rally Out and make way for the bold Fenian Men! We've men from the Nore, from the Suir and the Shannon Let tyrants come forth, we'll bring force against force Our pen is the sword and our voice is the cannon Rifle for rifle and horse against horse We've made the false Saxon yield many a red battlefield God on our side we will triumph again Pay them back woe for woe, give them back blow for blow Out and make way for the bold Fenian Men! Side by side for the cause have our forefathers battled Our hills never echo'd the tread of a slave In many's a field where the leaden hail rattled Through the red gap of glory they mar
