[Verse]
He came from old Newry in the County of Down,
He hated the Brits, the RUC and the Crown,
But now you are free in a land we've not seen,
In the fight for Ireland's freedom we will keep your memory.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brendan, dear Brendan, the brave and the bold,
You fought for old Ireland, the green white and gold,
You loved dear old Ireland, your country unfree,
You defied English laws to achieve liberty.

[Verse]
So gallant young man won't you listen again?
To the voice of young Brendan, your memories are the same,
Will you fight for your country and make Brendan's day?
Will you follow the cause and come join the IRA?

[Chorus]
Oh, Brendan, dear Brendan, the brave and the bold,
You fought for old Ireland, the green white and gold,
You loved dear old Ireland, your country unfree,
You defied English laws to achieve liberty.

[Verse]
Volunteer Brendan Watters you are gone from the fold,
Dear old Ireland's the place and the country you loved.
Oh, England, cruel England, we know we will win,
For we've brave men like Brendan who just won't give in.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brendan, dear Brendan, the brave and the bold,
You fought for old Ireland, the green white and gold,
You loved dear old Ireland, your country unfree,
You defied English laws to achieve liberty.

[Chorus]
Oh, Brendan, dear Brendan, the brave and the bold,
You fought for old Ireland, the green white and gold,
You loved dear old Ireland, your country unfree,
You defied English laws to achieve liberty.
