Songs For A Dreamer Music For Rebels.

I am a merry ploughboy

I am a merry ploughboy and I plough the fields by day
Till a lightening flash came to me mind that I should run away
I've always hated slavery since the day that I was born
now I am off to join the I.R.A. and I am off tomorrow morn.

So we're all off to Dublin in the green, in the green
Where the helmets glisten in the sun
Where the bay'nets flash and the riffles crash
To the echo of a Thompson gun.

I'll leave behind me old grey coat I'll leave behind me plough
I'll leave behind me horse and yoke, I no longer need them now
I'll take my short revolver, and my bondler of lead,
and live or die I can but try, to avenge my countrys dead.

So we're all off to Dublin in the green, in the green
Where the helmets glisten in the sun
Where the bay'nets flash and the rifles crash
To the echo of a Thompson gun.

There's one I leave behind me, a colleen I adore,
I wonder if she thinks of me, when she hears those cannons roar,
And when the war is over, and dear old Irelands free,
I'll take her to the church to wed, and a rebel's wife she'll be.

So we're all off to Dublin in the green, in the green
Where the helmets glisten in the sun
Where the bay'nets flash and the rifles crash
To the echo of a Thompson gun.

Wenn man sich überlegt, was die Iren und Nordiren schon unter der Besatzung gelitten haben... viel härter als wir.

13 Iren hat der Kinderschänder Edward Heath damals erschießen lassen.

Dagegen nimmt sich Mappus vor 5 Jahren beim Schwarzen Donnerstag in Stuttgart noch friedlich dagegen aus. Ich bin mir sicher, daß Erika und vor allem vdL nicht mehr so zimperlich sein werden, wenns mal so zuginge wie in Irland. Einen ersten Vorgeschmack hat sie ja hier schon bekommen:
