The heartbreaking thing is he didn't think his dear brother Willie, whom my father was named after, would be executed too.. But Willie was the only one to plead guilty that Easter week.. #ÉiríAmachNaCásca 🇮🇪
Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won’t be home There’s something that I have to do and I must do alone They have took me and they’ve put me in this lonely prison cell Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell Chorus So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál I have no words to tell you how much I’ll miss you all And though I may not show it you know I’ve loved you well So in my final letter I will bid my last farewell Dearest brother won’t you take good care of all the folks for me Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free I was happy when you stood by me in all that we’ve been through No one has ever had so true a brother such as you Dearest mother it’s so very sad that now we have to part To understand the reasons would trouble your poor heart I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny To die a true brave soldier so that one day you’d be free

Dearest Mother I am writing just to say I won’t be home
There’s something that I have to do and I must do alone
They have took me and they’ve put me in this lonely prison cell
Tonight my thoughts are with you as I say my last Farewell
Chorus
So say goodbye to Margaret, Mary Bridget and Michál
I have no words to tell you how much I’ll miss you all
And though I may not show it you know I’ve loved you well
So in my final letter I will bid my last farewell
Dearest brother won’t you take good care of all the folks for me
Go home to Rathfarnam on the day they set you free
I was happy when you stood by me in all that we’ve been through
No one has ever had so true a brother such as you
Dearest mother it’s so very sad that now we have to part
To understand the reasons would trouble your poor heart
I have told you since I was a boy it was my destiny
To die a true brave soldier so that one day you’d be free
To the Heart!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪
There's no song that will make me cry-
