William
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were sent to war
In the name of St. Patrick
The army of the green land
The irish catholics
We came for king james
Fear no one in this world
Light a fire, now it's time
Let the orange flags burn!
William, we never surrender
William , we never surrender
William, we never surrender
The irish will always survive
The english came across
To stole our lands away
They even tried to force us
To leave our ancient way
They destroyed the cross
Of the chuch of St. Patrick
Puritans, protestants really made us sick!
William, we never surrender
William , we never surrender
William, we never surrender
The irish will always survive
The english lords were cruel
They were flogging irish backs
Our people died of hunger
Or left our holy land
Queen Lizzy and Cromwell
Brought us pain and death
Puritans, protestants, we send you back in hell!
William, we never surrender
William , we never surrender
William, we never surrender
The irish will always survive
The blood is green
That's running through our veins
You'd better scream
When our cavalry appears
You see us ride
The last thing you see
Cannon fire, people die, we throw you in the sea!
William, we never surrender
William, we never surrender
William, we never surrender
The irish will always survive
