Irish Ways & Irish Laws |
Once upon a time there were |
Irish Ways and Irish Laws |
Villages of Irish blood |
Waking to the morning |
Waking to the morning |
Then the Vikings came around |
Turned us up and turned us down |
Started building boats and towns |
They tried to change our living |
tried to change our living |
Cromwell and his soldiers came |
Started centuries of shame |
But they could not make us turn |
We are a river flowing |
We’re a river flowing |
Again, again the soldiers came |
Burnt our houses stole our grain |
Shot the farmers in their fields |
Working for livings |
Working for a living |
800 years we have been down |
The secret of the water sound |
Has kept the spirit of a man |
Above the pain descending |
Above the pain descending |
Today the struggle carries on |
I wonder will I live so long |
To see the gates being opened up |
To a people and their freedom |
A people and their freedom |
Once upon a time there was |
Irish Ways and Irish Laws |
Villages of Irish blood |
Waking to the morning |
Waking to the morning |
