[Verse 1]
I'll tell a tale of gallant men
Who in the hills around Crossmaglen
Became a living legend in their day
Their daring deeds in freedom's fight
Shone like a beacon in the night
Where Harvey and McVerry showed the way
[Chorus]
A song can't bring them back again
Or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
A song can only keep alive the names
Of gallant women and of men
Their lives consumed in freedom's flame
And we owe that much to Moley and to Burns
[Verse 2]
A pall of smoke rose o'er the thе land
As cruel fate had played its hand
Thе two Brendans would have chose no other way
They died the way they had want to go
In action 'gainst the British foe
They lived and died to serve the IRA
[Chorus]
A song can't bring them back again
Or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
A song can only keep alive the names
Of gallant women and of men
Their lives consumed in freedom's flame
And we owe that much to Moley and to Burns
I'll tell a tale of gallant men
Who in the hills around Crossmaglen
Became a living legend in their day
Their daring deeds in freedom's fight
Shone like a beacon in the night
Where Harvey and McVerry showed the way
[Chorus]
A song can't bring them back again
Or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
A song can only keep alive the names
Of gallant women and of men
Their lives consumed in freedom's flame
And we owe that much to Moley and to Burns
[Verse 2]
A pall of smoke rose o'er the thе land
As cruel fate had played its hand
Thе two Brendans would have chose no other way

They lived and died to serve the IRA
[Chorus]
A song can't bring them back again
Or heal the wound, or soothe the pain
A song can only keep alive the names
Of gallant women and of men
Their lives consumed in freedom's flame
And we owe that much to Moley and to Burns
