Cumann Na mBan - Claymore

[Verse]
Farwell Mairéad Farrell,
A volunteer's farewell,
Under Spanish sun it was tyranny's gun
That took your life away

Fought for your home land,
And for its liberty,
So, God rest you Mairéad Farrell,
Of the gallant Cumann Na mBan.

[Chorus]
Ring out the shots for the volunteers
Fallen, martyred on they lie
Their deaths we avenge we will fight till the end,
Until our countries free.

[Verse]
Farewell Kathleen Largey,
A volunteer's farewell,
How your songs so often made us cry,
With a patriots grave you lie.

You sang your songs of freedom,
From Belfast to New York,
A republican first, you always returned ,
To the volunteers cause.

Even though your gone now
Your voice can still be heard
So, God rest you Kathleen Thompson,
Of the gallant Cumann Na mBan.

Farewell Maura Meehan,
Farewell to Dorothy too,
Ah, your lives you gave so the road could be free
For your countries liberty

You gave us Bridie Dolan,
Laura Crawford and Parker too,
So raise the flag to the brave fighting girls
Of the gallant Cumann Na mBan.

[Chorus]
Ring out the shots for the volunteers
Fallen, martyred on they lie
Their deaths we avenge we will fight till the end,
Until our countries free.

[Chorus]
Ring out the shots for the volunteers
Fallen, martyred on they lie
Their deaths we avenge we will fight till the end,
Until our countries free.
