(Anderson/Meyer)
Michael O`Reilly he`s a desperate man
Fighting for his liberty
Michael O`Reilly he`s a dangerous man
Fighting for his family
Michael O`Reilly he`s a peaceful man
He`s not a man too shy
Michael O`Reilly he believes in life
So he`s not afraid to die
CHORUS
Hey Hey Hey
Don`t be sad today
The people always win in the end
There`ll come a day
The guns rust away
And Ireland will be free again
Michael O`Reilly truly loves his land
He loves it with his heart and soul
To his family he`s a patriot
A rebel by the law he is called
There is only so far you can beat a dog
Before he turns around to bite
There`s only so long you`ll abuse a man
Before he stands up to fight
CHORUS X2 Repeat
CHORUS X2 Repeat
Sing it
Hey Hey Hey
Hey
There`ll come a day
