*Oh, have you forgotten how soon we must sever?
Oh, have you forgotten this day we must part?
It may be for years and it may be forever,
Oh, why are you silent, thou voice of my heart?
It may be for years and it may be forever,
Then why are you silent, Kathleen Mavourneen? *
Or the cover of “Fields of Athenrye” by Seanchai & The Unity Squad (aka Chris Byrne formerly of B47) Not the best recording as it is from a live show vs. studio mix but still… “F-CK THE CROWN!”
Mine is this too, as I appreciate insults when they’re done sarcastically, and “show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders” is delicious shade-throwing.
It’s by Dominic Behan, Brendan’s brother. Also known for “the Patriot Game.”
