SPANISH EYES
(Carlos del Pino, Brendan Murphy)

Those Spanish eyes are fading fast
And soon no more will see
Those Spanish eyes that've seen so much
So let me tell to thee

‘Twas in the year of ‘36
The Fascists came to call
They took the men both young and old
And put them to the wall

Those Spanish eyes are fading fast
And soon will see no more
If only she could live again
to see what the future lies in store

Then came the men from far and wide
To help the noble cause
They fought and laughed and loved and died
For the sake of Spanish eyes

They came from North, South, and East
From Dublin, Clare and from Kildare
Their mission here was all too clear
To halt the evil beast

Those Spanish eyes are fading fast
And soon will see no more
If only she could live again
to see what the future lies in store

Young Martin came from Kerry
A fisherman it’s true
they danced and drank and lived and loved
‘Til a bullet saw him through

Our life is all so very short
Of that so much is true
When brother’s killing brother
For shirts of different hue

Those Spanish eyes are fading fast
And soon will see no more
I´d give those eyes to be the one
To lead them from the ´fore

And in the end She had no fear
When the Blueshirts came to call
For they put she in a prison cell
And threw away the key

Those Spanish eyes have seen it all
And what they say is true
The tyrants they will never beat
The bravery of the few

Those Spanish eyes are fading fast
And soon will see no more
I´d give those eyes to be the one
To lead them as before
