Bold Robert Emmet
Clancy Brothers chorus:Bold Robert Emmet, the darling of Ireland, Bold Robert Emmet will die with a smile, Farewell companions both loyal and daring, I'll lay down my life for the Emerald Isle.
The barque lay at anchor awaiting to bring me Over the billows to the land of the free; But I must see my sweetheart for I know she will cheer me, And with her I will sail far over the sea. But I was arrested and cast into prison, Tried as a traitor, a rebel, a spy; But no man can call me a knave or a coward, A hero I lived and a hero I'll die.
chorus:
Hark! I the bell's tolling, I well know its meaning, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My poor heart tells me it is my death knell; In come the clergy, the warder is leading, I have no friends here to bid me farewell. Goodbye, old Ireland, my parents and sweetheart, Companions in arms to forget you must try; I am proud of the honour, it was only my duty- A hero I lived and a hero I'll die.
chorus: From Irish Songs of Resistance, Galvin Recorded by Patric Galvin, Clancys @Irish @rebellion filename[ ROBTEMMT play.exe ROBTEMMT RG
