So they buried him out on the mountains 'Neath a cross that stood facing the sun They wrote: "Here lies a true Irish soldier Who was shot by a Black-and-Tan gun" And now we are back in old Dublin, our victory over and won We think of our comrades we buried under God's rising sun Related Lyrics Random lyrics: THE CROPPY BOY, THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE, Black Velvet Band, Bodenstown Churchyard, Bridget Flynn, Drunken Sailor, Fiddlers Green, Goodbye Mrs Durkin, GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER, Hiring Fair, The First Love In Life, The Orange And The Green, The Scottsman, The Unicorn, Wasnt That A Party, Years May Come Years May Go, Det Kommer En Gryning, Precis Som Du, Aa Aa Allin Lasta, Precis Som Du, Stureplan, Wish Someone Would Care, Beauty and Family, Beneath The Balcony, Bird Stealing Bread, Cinder And Smoke, Each Coming Night, Fever Dream, Free Until They Cut Me Down, Love And Some Verses, Naked As We Came, On Your Wings, Passing Afternoon, Radio War, Sodom, South Georgia, Such Great Heights, Sunset Soon Forgotten, Teeth in the Grass, The Trapeze Swinger, Upward Over The Mountain, Are You Happy, Belda-Beast, Filled With Fear, Flower and Beads, Flower Beads, Flowers and Beads, Get Out Of My Life, Woman, Her Favorite Style, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, In The Crowds, Other Irish Folksongs song Lyrics A BUNCH OF THYME Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Little Bit Of Heaven Lyrics A Man You Dont Meet Every Day Lyrics A Mothers Love Is A Blessing Lyrics A Muirsheen Durkin Lyrics A Nation Once Again Lyrics A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Lyrics A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics A Soldiers Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irish Rovers Lyrics Irma Schultz Lyrics Irma Tapio Lyrics Irma Thomas Lyrics Iron And Wine Lyrics IRON BUTTERFLY Lyrics Iron Fire Lyrics Iron Maiden Lyrics Iron Rain Lyrics Iron Savior Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
