The statement, "Ireland shall never find peace while unfree," was originally delivered by Padraic Pearse as part of a speech during a commemorative event at Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa's grave in 1915. I've only come across The Wolfe Tones performing this piece, and I'm uncertain of its provenance. This song portrays an elderly man reflecting on the bygone days when he and Padraic Pearse fought in the Easter Rising.
Lyrics:
In a dimly lit room by the smouldering fire
Sat an old man so lonely, so sad
And so tired once he struggled for freedom
Now he struggles to live
With his few small possessions and
His past to relive
There's a faded old picture on
The wall all alone
A dusty old picture, the pride of his home
With a harp and a shamrock
With these words underneath:
'Ireland unfree shall never be at peace'
And his thoughts wander back to
The days of his prime
Oh, it seems now there's nothing
Goes faster than time
To his comrades of old and
He remembers the day
When he marched behind Pearse
And the bold IRA
And it's to Easter week and
His thoughts wander back
Oh, those leaders of men sure
No courage did lack
But now he's just left with
His memories of old
For his name nor his story will ever be told
He gazed at that picture and
He gave a sad smile
For each wrinkle and line told
A struggle of time
Then he gazed once again and
His eyes filled with tears
For the man in that picture
Was his friend Pádraig Pearse
There's a faded old picture on
The wall all alone
A dusty old picture, the pride of his home
With a harp and a shamrock
With these words underneath
'Ireland unfree shall never be at peace'

Wow.. As an Irish man whom grew up listening to Paddy Reilly, The Dubliners.. This gave me goosebumps🥺 Sir you are an amazing singer, you have an incredible voice and the soul of the proudest Irish man🍀🇮🇪 Thank you

Thank you for keeping the sadder, lesser known songs from Ireland alive. They keep history alive too. I’ve a friend who’d never heard or knew of the saint Patrick’s battalion until I sent them your cover, and I myself hadn’t know there was a song about it until you sang it. So though, as someone else mentioned, fewer people maybe listening right now, your songs have a great impact on the ones who are.
