Brendan Convery The Irish Brigade

It was on a summer's day and from Dundalk he made his way
Gallant Brendan and his comrades, brave and bold
To Dungannon they did go, where they faced the ancient foe
And they gave their lives, our freedom to uphold

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name
On our banners; we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name
On our banners; we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free

Brendan Convery was his name and from Maghera he came
Another of South Derry's fighting sons
From his childhood days he swore he'd see Ireland free once more
It was to the end he bore a fenian gun

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name
On our banners; we're so proud to sing
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there
As you marched so many times for Ireland free
