I listened to the following song over and over and over again on a record player hundreds of times from the time that I was five, six, seven, eight or nine years of age. Now you know why I ended up kind of argumentative and somewhat rebellious. The Clancys-Kevin Barry
I don't understand this thread's connection to near-death-experiences, ghosts or religion. How long do we have to wait for that other shoe to drop?
Never knew it was Little Richard but this was one of the first tunes I listened to. We even sent it in as a request to the local radio station as a poor joke on my sister's birthday.
Kevin Barry Clancey Brothers In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning High upon the gallows tree Kevin Barry gave his young life For the cause of liberty But a lad of eighteen summers Yet no true man can deny As he walked to death that morning He proudly held his head on high Another martyr for old Erin Another murder for the crown The British laws may crush the Irish But cannot keep their spirits down Just before he faced the hangman In his dreary prison cell The British soldiers tortured Barry Just because he would not tell The names of all his brave companions And other things they wished to know Turn informer or we'll kill you Kevin Barry answered no Another martyr for old Erin Another murder for the crown The British laws may crush the Irish But cannot keep their spirits down Source: Musixmatch ... 18 suicidal Irish & looking for a cause to die for ?(the uneducated listening child) sounds like you identify with imperialist revolutionary's like native american indians ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Barry_(song) Kevin Barry (song) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search "Kevin Barry" is a popular Irish rebel song recounting the death of Kevin Barry, a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who was hanged on 1 November 1920.

This brilliant song by Mr. Kevin Barry came to him in a NDE. How else would he would up with the insightful lyrics "The British Laws may crush the Irish but they cannot keep their spirits down"? I have a brilliant idea about eliminating interest rates as it relates to the U.S. and Canadian Central Banks if you would like to hear it?
The only song I have on my phone is Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner. I heard it in a bar once back in the seventies and I remembered almost all of the words. Then, a decade or two later, I found it on cassette in the bargain bin at Zellers. That was when I first found out that it was by Warren Zevon (possibly best known for Werewolves of London).
