[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
They came across the ocean
In search of liberty
Escaping persecution
Famine and poverty
Signed up for bloodshed
New home a battleground
Send in the Irish, so courageous and renowned
[Pre-Chorus]
Sons of Erin
Marching gallantly
Into a storm of lead
(Forward! Clear the way!)
Sons of Erin
Charging valiantly
Across that bloody space
(Forward! Clear the way!)
[Verse 2]
The hills alive with murder
The sky so cold and grey
The general gives the order
Irish clear the way!
Bodies fall like leaves in autumn
From the wall at Marye’s Heights
Shot and shell ripping through them
A cold horrific sight
[Verse 1]
They came across the ocean

Escaping persecution
Famine and poverty
Signed up for bloodshed
New home a battleground
Send in the Irish, so courageous and renowned

Marching gallantly
Into a storm of lead
(Forward! Clear the way!)
Sons of Erin

The hills alive with murder
The sky so cold and grey
The general gives the order
Irish clear the way!
Bodies fall like leaves in autumn
From the wall at Marye’s Heights
Shot and shell ripping through them
A cold horrific sight
