[Billy Reid]

[Verse 1]
I'll sing you a song of a terrible wrong
When the flags all flew at half mast
For a man, he lay dead; he was riddled with lead
And he died on the streets of Belfast

[Chorus]
All the radio said was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they didn't say why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland

[Verse 2]
Well, it happened one day when the bold IRA
Were fighting to free their land
With an old Thompson gun, put the Brits on the run
And return to their home was their plan

[Verse 3]
When returning thе guns, Billy met British Huns
And when the fight had bеgun
His position was dire when his gun wouldn't fire
So he died with that old Thompson gun
[Chorus]
All the radio said was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they didn't say why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland

[Verse 4]
Although he lay dead, he was kicked in the head
By the hair, they dragged him around
But they still fear him yet, and they'll never forget
How brave Billy Reid stood his ground

[Chorus]
All the radio said was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they didn't say why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland

[Take Me Home to Mayo]

[Chorus]
Take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea
Home today, oh Mayo, where once I roamed so free
Take me home to Mayo, and let my body lie
Home at last to Mayo, beneath an Irish sky
[Verse 1]
My name is Michael Gaughan, from Ballina I came
I saw my people suffer, and swore to break their chains
I took the boat to England, prepared to fight or die
Bury me in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky

[Chorus]
Take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea
Home today, oh Mayo, where once I roamed so free
Take me back to Mayo, and let my body lie
Home at last to Mayo, beneath an Irish sky

[Upton Ambush]

[Verse 1]
Many homes are filled with sorrow and with sadness
Many hearts are filled with anguish and with pain
For old Ireland now, she hangs her head in mourning
For the men who fell at Upton for Sinn Féin

[Verse 2]
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
Where those men who fought for freedom now are laid
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland
In the lonely woods of Upton for Sinn Féin
[Verse 3]
Some were thinking of their mothers, wives, and sweethearts
Some were thinking of their dear old Irish homes
Did they think of how they drilled along the valley
As they marched out from Cork city to their doom?

[Verse 4]
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
Where those men who fought for freedom now are laid
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland
In the lonely woods of Upton, far away

[Four Green Fields]

[Verse 1]
What did I have, said the proud old woman
What did I have, this proud old woman did say
I had four green fields, each one was a jewel
But strangers came and tried to take them from me
I had fine strong sons, who fought to save my jewel
They fought and they died, and that was my grief, said she

[Verse 2]
What have I now, said the proud old woman
What have I now, this proud old woman did say
I have four green fields, one of them's in bondage
In stranger's hands, who tried to keep it from me
But my sons, they had sons, as brave as were their fathers
And my fourth green field will bloom once again, said she

[Outro]
My fourth green field will bloom once again, said she
