    HI ,

    I'm looking for the words to a song about the croke park massacre , When in 1920 the Black and tans opened fire on the crowd .

    My grandmother sung this song , and myself and my uncle always meant to write the words down , as we never heard it anywere else , only when she sang it .
    But sadly she passed away in January of the year :( .
    So i'd like to get hold of a lyrics .

    I'v tried the searching the net , but to no luck.

    I also thought a letter to Ireland's Own might turn up the lyrics , as there seems to be reqeusts for song lyrics there .

    Thanks,
    John

    Try www.theballadeers.com or www.mysongbook.de

    They have a huge list of songs - if you saw the name it might ring a bell.

    Sorry,
    I thought you meant the one on Sunday just gone, and there aren`t any as of yet. Maybe that one is best forgotten.

    It's Probably not but I was thinking: 'HENRY JOY' (Air: The same as "The Singing Bird" and is often played in Croke Park by the Artane Boys?)
    Or 'THE BATTLE OF GRANARD' (Air: "The Rising of the Moon") My Granny still sings them ones. ha!
