“O’Donnell Abu“ from “The Fighting Prince of Donegal“

(1966) “The Fighting Prince of Donegal“ (original title) After inheriting his father’s title, the young noble Hugh O’Connell is taken hostage by the English viceroy but escapes to lead an uprising 1. Proudly the note of the trumpet is sounding; Loudly the war cries arise on the gale; Fleetly the steed by Lough Swilly is bounding, To join the thick squadrons on Saimear’s green vale. On, ev’ry mountaineer, Strangers to flight or fear, Rush to the standard of dauntless Red Hugh. Bonnaught and Gallowglass, Throng from each mountain pass. On for old Erin, “O’Donnell Abu!“
