BLAGGARD - Battle of Vinegar Hill
lyrics
Brought us here fettered in chains,
"united", convict, rebel stains.
Brought us here against our will
to rot to death in Castle hill

my crime to resist the Crown
now i wanna go back to Wexford town
death or liberty says i
i'm going home or hanged up high

we're gonna rebel, gonna rebel, rebel against this island hell
setting sail on sea green foam till we see the green grasses of home
we're gonna break free, gonna break free, free from English tyranny
the lash and the Rum Corps both can stay, we're sailing out of Botany Bay

the only justice on this shore
the "flogging parson" and the Corps
drag samual from beneath his bed
& wrap the "cat" around his head

farewell to the cat o' nine
farewell to the red-coat swine
Brought us here against our will
to fester in the bowels of hell.
