Irish Ways And Irish Laws

Once Upon A Time There Was,
Irish Ways And Irish Laws
Villages Of Irish Blood
Walking To The Morning
Walking To The Morning

Then The Vikings Came Around,
Turned Us Up And Turned Us Down,
Started Building Boats And Towns
They Tried To Change Our Living,
They Tried To Change Our Living.

Cromwell And His Soldiers Came,
Started Centuries Of Shame,
But They Could Not Make Us Turn,
We Are A River Flowing,
We're A River Flowing.

Again Again The Soldiers Came,
Burnt Our Houses,Stole Our Grain,
Shot The Farmers In Their Fields,
Working For A Living,
Working For A Living.

Eight Hundred Years We Have Been Down,
The Secret Of The Water Sound
Has Kept The Spirit Of A Man
Above The Pain Descending
Above The Pain Descending

Today The Struggle Carries On.
I Wonder Will I Live So Long
To See The Gates Being Opened Up
To A People And Their Freedom,
A People And Their Freedom
