Drumboe Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drumboe Castle is located in County Donegal, Ireland. It is infamous for being the location of the Drumboe massacre during the Irish Civil War.
The midnight hags are shrieking round the Castle of Drumboe While patriot blood is flowing red in the solemn soil below Their crime that they had left their home for to fight a foreign foe And by Irish hands they were murdered in the Castle of Drumboe
From Cork and Kerry homes they came, from Munster green and fair To fight the bloodstained Black and Tans and to dare what men may dare Blind treachery betrayed them, then informers rot their woe Ireland, you have murdered them in the Castle of Drumboe
You have sold the past for England's gold, sold many the pass and gorge You have cringed to Orange Carson and you knelt to English George (George V) Even borrowed English armoury your country to overthrow And you murdered Ireland's fighting men in the Castle of Drumboe
