Lyrics

I'll sing a song and it won't be long
Of days now passed and gone
I'll sing in praise of the land league days
And the work our fathers done
They thought it right to justly fight
And the landlords to put down
But sad to say, 'twas a fateful day
In dear old Mitchelstown
September nine and the day was fine
The year was eighty seven
In a meeting grand they took their stand
And a loud three cheers were given
Then peelers' guns fired on our sons
And three were found shot down
These words did sound half the world around
''Remember Mitchelstown''
Now that fight was won and our landlords gone
We will thank those gallant men
For their plan of campaign it did not fail
Sure we'll have our own again
And in that square I'll say a prayer
For the men who were shot down
And the banshees wail, oft told the tale,
Remember Mitchelstown
And the banshees wail, oft told the tale,
Remember Mitchelstown
