[00:08.051] The night was dark and the fight was over,[00:16.877] The moon shone down O'Connell Street;[00:24.693] I stood alone where brave men perished;[00:32.516] Those men have gone their God to meet.[00:41.073] My only son was shot in Dublin[00:49.331] Fighting for his country bold;[00:57.100] He fought for Ireland, and Ireland only,[01:04.963] The Harp and Shamrock, Green, White and Gold.[01:13.112] The first I met was a grey-haired father[01:21.330] Searching for his only son;[01:28.868] I said, "Old man, there's no use searching,[01:36.793] For up to heaven your son has gone."[01:44.847] The old man cried out broken hearted;[01:53.210] Bending o'er I heard him say,[02:00.814] "I knew my son was too kind hearted,[02:08.759] I knew my son would never yield."[02:16.950] The last I met was a dying rebel;[02:25.296] Bending low I heard him say,[02:32.836] "God bless my home in dear Cork City,[02:40.830] God bless the cause for which I die."
