《Old Fenian Gun》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Fenian Gun - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan

[00:00:03] It hung above the kitchen fire

[00:00:09] It's barrel long and brown

[00:00:15] And one day with a boy's desire

[00:00:20] I climbed and took it down

[00:00:26] My father's eyes with anger flashed

[00:00:32] He cried what have you done

[00:00:38] I wish you'd left it where it was

[00:00:44] That's my old Fenian gun

[00:00:50] I fondled it with love and pride

[00:00:56] I looked it over and over

[00:01:02] I placed it on my shoulder

[00:01:06] And I marched across the floor

[00:01:13] My father's anger softened

[00:01:18] And he shared my boyish fun

[00:01:24] Ah well he said

[00:01:28] 'Tis in your breed

[00:01:30] Like that old Fenian gun

[00:01:36] I remember '67 well

[00:01:42] When lads like you and me

[00:01:48] All thought we'd strike another blow

[00:01:54] To set old Ireland free

[00:01:59] But broken were our golden hopes

[00:02:05] I was long months on the run

[00:02:11] But it did good work for Ireland

[00:02:16] Then that brown old Fenian gun

[00:02:23] I was down then in Killaluk

[00:02:28] 'Twas the hottest fight of all

[00:02:35] And you see he burned his arm

[00:02:40] There's a mark still on the ball

[00:02:46] I hope the young lads growing now

[00:02:52] Will hold the ground we won

[00:02:58] And not disgrace the cause in which

[00:03:03] I held that Fenian gun

[00:03:09] I placed it on my shoulder

[00:03:15] And I heard my father sigh

[00:03:21] I knew his thoughts were turning back

[00:03:27] On days now long gone by

[00:03:33] And then I vowed within my heart

[00:03:38] I'll be my father's son

[00:03:44] And if ever Ireland wants my aid

[00:03:50] I'll hold the Fenian gun

[00:03:56] That's years ago I've grown a man

[00:04:02] And I've weathered many a gale

[00:04:08] The last long year

[00:04:11] I'v spent inside

[00:04:14] A gloomy English jail

[00:04:19] I've done my part

[00:04:22] I'll do it still

[00:04:25] Until the fight is won

[00:04:32] When Ireland's free

[00:04:35] She'll bless the men

[00:04:38] Who held the Fenian gun
