Click more before you start the video and you can follow along with Luke. For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame For what flowed Irelands blood in rivers, That began when Brian chased the Dane, And did not cease nor has not ceased, With the brave sons of ´16, For what died the sons of Róisín, was it fame For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed Was it greed that drove Wolfe Tone to a paupers death in a cell of cold wet stone?

For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed To whom do we owe our allegiance today To whom do we owe our allegiance today To those brave men who fought and died that Róisín live again with pride? Her sons at home to work and sing, Her youth to dance and make her valleys ring, Or the faceless men who for Mark and Dollar, Betray her to the highest bidder, To whom do we owe our allegiance today For what suffer our patriots today For what suffer our patriots today They have a language problem, so they say, How to write No Trespass must grieve their heart full sore, We got rid of one strange language now we are faced with many, many more, For what suffer our patriots today https://youtube/watch?v=C14U7JYGRgA
