(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
