Testo Ricochet - Declan Hunt
Testo della canzone Ricochet (Declan Hunt), tratta dall'album Ireland's Fight for Freedom - Irish Revolutionary Songs
Some men went to Dungarvan town
The barracks for to case
And noticed how the noble crown
Came past that new place
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
Oh, the RUC they knew that we
Had planned to have some sport
For they'd read a piece by Dev's police
In a Free State news report
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
They read the paper satisfied
And said, "Well now, that's that"
When suddenly to their surprise
Came a big loud rat-a-tat-tat
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
"Who's out there? Oh, what can we do?
For God's sake, stop this slack
Are you Fenians or red, white and blue
That's out there in the dark?"
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
One fella stole out warily
But quickly came in again
When he found that he was staring down
The barrel of a Sten
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
Oh, the Free State news became a fact
When the silence it was broke
By a big loud bang that loudly rang
From a shower of dust and smoke
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
When those guardians of the nation
Thought the lads were gone for good
They came to find no station
Where a station once had stood
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
There are ten loyal policemen now
And they're signing on the dole
And they'd love to get Dev's Irish mess
And shove it up his
With your IRA ricochet
Play it on your lambeg drum
