Freedom's Sons - Solo Tommy Makem Songtext
von The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

This is the 50th anniversary of the East rebellion in Dublin
And to commemorate that occasion, Tommy Makem roll this song
It′s called, "Freedom's Sons"

In Dublin town, they fought and died
With Pearse, McDermott, and McBride
"Ourselves alone" their battle cry
And freedom sang to the Eastern sky


They were the men with a vision, the men with a cause
The men who defied their oppressor′s laws
The men who traded their chains for guns
Born into slavery, they were freedom's sons

The poet's dream had sparked a flame
A raging fire, it soon became
And from that fire of destiny
There rose a nation proud and free

They were the men with a vision, the men with a cause
The men who defied their oppressor′s laws
The men who traded their chains for guns
Born into slavery, they were freedom′s sons

Born into slavery, they were freedom's sons
