Irish Ways Irish Laws
Once upon a time there wereIrish Ways and Irish LawsVillages of Irish bloodWaking to the morningWaking to the morning
Then the Vikings came around1Turned us up and turned us downStarted building boats and townsThey tried to change our livingtried to change our living
Cromwell and his soldiers came2Started centuries of shameBut they could not make us turn3We are a river flowingWe're a river flowing
Again, again the soldiers cameBurnt our houses stole our grainShot the farmers in their fieldsWorking for livingsWorking for a living
800 years we have been down4The secret of the water soundHas kept the spirit of a manAbove the pain descendingAbove the pain descending
Today the struggle carries onI wonder will I live so longTo see the gates being opened up5To a people and their freedomA people and their freedom
Once upon a time there wasIrish Ways and Irish LawsVillages of Irish bloodWaking to the morningWaking to the morning.
