Take Away
(Kelfam/Kelfam)
(Lead Vocal: Paddy)
Eighteen years old and I ran the farm
These men came in with arms
They burnt the house, they took our lands
Yhey broke us living clans
My father said: "If you want to live
Then fight them like a man."
So I punched their nose and I kicked their ass
But then my hands were cuffed
Take away, take away, take away, take away my son (2x)
Give a little heartbreak, give a little soul (2x)
Six hungry years behind the bars
Was not enough for me
To change my mind to fightin'
for my brothers from the tree
So at twenty-four I got a horse and fought my enemy
But at the fields of play, they shot me in the back
At least I did die free
Take away...(2x)
Nanana, nanana, nananana nanana Yeehaw!
Take away...(2x)
Now my body is dead but the spirit lives up here with all the saints
Saint Paddy and I are having fun drinking tons of beer
Meanwhile on earth the Irish clans are fighting for their lands
I wish I was there with a gun in my hand
Fighting for them to be free
