Here's the words without the chords
You've heard of Jemmy Hope my friend
And the brave Tom Russell too
Both brave and true dissenter men
They died for me and you
Let's call to mind the (terrible?) times
And when we feel alone
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
Refrain (repeat):
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
No more we'll talk about the Boyne
For now we know the cost
When James and Billy flipped a coin
Twas poor old Ireland lost
Let Jamie dance away to France
Let Billy grab the throne
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
God save the Queen, God bless the pope
With your harps and (thumping?) Drums
As you live in despair and dying hope
In your Falls and your shankill slums
Let's pray to God that taig and prod
May worship each alone
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
(Refrain)
Let's say goodbye my friends at last
To bigotry and hate
Our future has always been the past
No Storemont or Free state.
Too long we've been divided friends
To long we've fought our own
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
You've heard of Jemmy Hope my friend
And the brave Tom Russell too
Both brave and true dissenter men
They died for me and you
Let's call to mind the (terrible?) times
And when we feel alone
Remember Henry Joy me friends, Bob Emmet and Wolfe Tone
Refrain (repeat):
