MICHAEL O'FLYNN - CONNAUGHT RANGERS

CONNAUGHT RANGERS
Music & Lyrics by Michael O'Flynn

He was born in the Annaghdown boglands
At two sailed astray in a pail
Was lost on the waves of the Corrib
And his clan shed tears as they wailed

He was guided by guardian angels
As the whole town searched far and wide
A cheer of joy rocked the silence
As the wee lad was found in the tide

He came from the Annaghdown farmlands
Travelled through rain wind and snow
Followed the waves of the ocean
And fought for the lives of the free

They climbed Macedonian mountains
Made raids on the worlds enemy
Their blood flowed in serbian fountains
And fought for the lives of the free
They fought for the lives of the free

All hail connaught rangers
They layed down thier lives for the free
All hail connaught rangers
They fought for the lives of the free

He fled from his magesties army
A rebel well loved on the run
Defended his kin on bloody sunday
Sent black and tans running away
Sent black and tans running away

All hail connaught rangers
They layed down their lives for the free
All hail connaught rangers
They fought for the lives of the free
In croke park he outlived the rising
Well hidden in fenian farm
His first born lad he named paddy
And his legend lives on in the stars
And his legend lives on in the stars

All hail connaught rangers
They layed down their lives for the free
All hail connaught rangers
They fought for the lives of the free
