Lyrics:
When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still grow on each tree
When leaves are still green in December
Its then that our land will be free
I wander your hills and your valleys
Yet still through my sorrow I see
A land that has never known freedom
And only our rivers run free
I drink to the death of her manhood
Those men who would rather have died
Than to live in the cold chains of bondage
To bring back their rights were denied
Oh where are you now when we need you
What burns where the flame used to be
Are you gone like the snows of last winter
And will only our rivers run free
How sweet is life when it’s crying
How mellow the wine but its dry
How fragrant the rose but its dying
How gentle the breeze but a sigh
What good is in youth when it’s aging
What joy is in eyes that can't see
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
And still only our rivers run free
What good is in youth when it’s aging
What joy are in eyes that can't see
When there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers
And still only our rivers run free

Why does Irish music touch your heart like no other nationality can?

[@queenbee3647]

An Irishman is never so comfortable as when his heart is full of angst. Hunnicutt, Gist, King, Mc,Gough, Johnson. I know of what I speak. Scottish too. 💖

John, I’m of Scotttish /Irish ancestry and I admire you so.

[@rjburbine]

Mr. McDermott, Did I see correctly, that you were wearing a US Marine Corps print tie? If so, Semper Fidelis ! USMC 1981-1987

[@robertjohnston1339]

Erin go bragh Agus Saoirse. Doire

[@dorothyforbes3613]

Do the Irish Tenors still sing as a group. Where is Ronan today

[@rderocher2597]

Dorothy Forbes The Irish Tenors do still preform! However John McDermott is no longer a member. He was replaced by Finbar Wright.

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

Well he is a Scott not Irish born so now it is in fact the Irish tenors

[@robertjohnston1339]

Do me a wee favour, Matthew Jeremiah, I don't understand your quotes from the Bible and I don't want too. This is a beautiful Irish rebel song composed through our war with Britain. Chill out with your bible quotes.. Greetings from a Celtic Irish pagan. Blessed be, Agus Saoirse

[@71742s]

No one is forcing you to read the Bible "quotes." True freedom is expressing your views however you wish to express them. Tyranny is from those who wish to silence your freedom to "quote" the Bible. That makes you a hypocrite.
