Request For A Belfast

lorraine is looking for A Belfast Song.

I am trying to find the lyrics or any information on a beautiful song my mother in law (RIP) used to sing at family gatherings. It was about the McMahon murders in Belfast in 1922. I think it may have been to the music similar to the song 'Dear old Skibbereen'. Can you help??

Thanks,lorraine

I remember my father used to sing that song too. It began " They came at dead of midnight. They came all armed with guns and began the wholesale muder of Mc Mahon and his sons". It was to the tune of "Erin's Flag". Despite my searching, I have not found it yet. Good luck with your search.
