Eddie Boy

words by Deirdre Muldomhnaigh, tune: Oh Danny Boy
(An Tir Songbook: Elf Hill Times, no. 9, Jan. 1981)

Oh Eddie boy, the BoD, the BoD is calling,
At prime time rates, Across the great state lines;
Your ass is grass, And we're all branded traitors.
Too bad--the idea seemed good at the time.
But if An Tir shall e'er become a kingdom,
When you are dead and martyred you must be,
We will seek out your lonely rebel graveside,
And stand and say a kaddish there for thee.
