Song for the IRA
Bob A. Feldman
An historical folk song--written in the late 1970s--which was written to express support for the Irish Republican Movement, the Irish Freedom Struggle and the fight against British imperialism in Ireland.
See their light, the IRA is near
Awaken at night, the IRA is here
Join the fight, to make the Irish free
Sing their songs of love and liberty.
And drive the British from wherever they invade
Use your rifles and use yur hand grenades
Remember all the heroes who gave their lives for you
Recall the crimes and all the soldiers cruel.
And wage a war led by those without property
And don't you trust the ones bribed by British money
And take the land and the foreign-owned factories
And grasp her hand and treat her equally.
