The Big Fellah lyrics

Artist  : 47 Black 
Song : The Big Fellah



 Send "The Big Fellah" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Mo chara is mo lao thu!

 (My friend and my calf)

Is aisling tri néallaibh

 (A vision in dream)

Do deineadh aréir dom

 (Was revealed to me last night)

IgCorcaigh go déanach

 (In Cork, a late hour)

Ar leaba im aonar

 (In my solitary bed)



I remember you back in the GPO with Connolly and
Clarke 

Laughin' with McDermott through the bullets and
the sparks 

Always with the smart remark, your eyes blazin'
and blue 

But when we needed confidence we always turned to
you 

And when they shot our leaders up against
Kilmainham wall 

You were there beside us in that awful Easter
dawn 

Hey, big fellah..........where the hell are you
now 

When we need you the most 

Hey, big fellah..........c'mon 



Tabhair dom do lamh

 (Give me your hand)



Back on the streets of Dublin when we fought the
black and tans 

You were there beside us, a towerin' mighty man


And God help the informer or the hated English
spy 

By Jaysus, Mick, you'd crucify them without the
blinkin' of an eye 

Still you had a heart as soft as the early
mornin' dew 

Every widow, whore and orphan could always turn
to you 

We beat them in the cities and we whipped them in
the streets 

And the world hailed Michael Collins, our
commander and our chief 

And they sent you off to London to negotiate a
deal 

And to gain us a republic, united, boys, and real


But the women and the drink, Mick, they must have
got to you 

'Cause you came back with a country divided up in
two 



We had to turn against you, Mick, there was
nothin' we could do 

'Cause we couldn't betray the republic like
Arthur Griffith and you 

We fought against each other, two brothers
steeped in blood 

But I never doubted that your heart was broken in
the flood 

And though we had to shoot you down in golden
Béal na Blath 

I always knew that Ireland lost her greatest son
of all
