They Died For Ireland

They thought that they were fighting for freedom of British rule for Ireland in a war far away But perhaps the tag of traitors with them in Ireland does stay David Lloyd George the then Prime Minister promised them of British rule Ireland would be free If they fought on the side of Britain in time going back a century Of course the young Irish believed the one known as the Welsh Wizard back then For freedom from British Rule would have been a dream come true for brave young Irishmen But Lloyd George went back on his word whilst thousands of young Irishmen died Fighting for Irish freedom from Britain on the British side Many of the young Irish from the first World war to Ireland never made it back They died for the love of their Country under the Union Jack The pledge made to them by David Lloyd George they did believe But many politicians in their words are known to deceive In Ireland they are not remembered in story and song And to say the least this is strange and very wrong.
