The Big Fellah |
Mo chara is mo lao thu |
Is aisling tri nx allaibh |
Do deineadh arx ir dom |
IgCorcaigh go dx anach |
Ar leaba im aonar |
I remember you back in the GPO |
With Connolly and Clarke |
Laughin' with McDermott |
Through the bullets and the sparks |
Always with the smart remark |
Your eyes blazin' and blue |
But when we needed confidence |
We always turned to you |
And when they shot our leaders |
Up against Kilmainham wall |
You were there beside us |
In that awful Easter dawn |
Hey, big fellah where the hell are you now? |
When we need you the most |
Hey, big fellah c’mon |
Tabhair dom do lamh |
Back on the streets of Dublin |
When we fought the black and tans |
You were there beside us |
A towerin' mighty man |
And God help the informer |
Or the hated English spy |
By Jaysus, Mick, you’d crucify them |
Without the blinkin' of an eye |
Still you had a heart as soft as |
The early mornin' dew |
Every widow, whore and orphan |
Could always turn to you |
We beat them in the cities |
And we whipped them in the streets |
And the world hailed Michael Collins |
Our commander and our chief |
And they sent you off to London |
To negotiate a deal |
And to gain us a republic |
United, boys, and real |
But the women and the drink |
Mick, they must have got to you |
'Cause you came back with a country |
divided up in two |
We had to turn against you, Mick |
There was nothin' we could do |
'Cause we couldn’t betray the republic |
Like Arthur Griffith and you |
We fought against each other |
Two brothers steeped in blood |
But I never doubted that your heart |
Was broken in the flood |
And though we had to shoot you down |
In golden Bx al na Blath |
I always knew that Ireland lost |
Her greatest son of all |
