Here are the words to my election
song "Vote O'Connor, Brigid Number 1", written by my brother Batt O'
Connor. I hope you enjoy it. I am going to upload the music shortly so
please come back again. To listen to more of Batt's wonderful compositions

VOTE O' CONNOR, BRIGID NUMBER 1
Chorus
Come out today, it's time we had our say,
It's time that we were standing in the sun;
Come out today, let no one bar the way
And vote O'Connor, Brigid No 1!
First Verse
The government they told her
That the ancient Dingle Road
Would never see a bucketful of tar.
But Brigid she was bolder
And to Brussels she did go,
And the big wigs gathered round from near and far.
And in that House of Parliament
The Germans and the French,
The British and the Dutch and Portugese,
They all sat back and listened
To that clear West Kerry voice,
And she brought those mighty nations to their knees.
Chorus
Come out today, it's time we had our say,
It's time that we were standing in the sun;
Come out today, let no one bar the way
And vote O'Connor, Brigid No 1!
Second Verse
The spies from Dublin Castle
Are back among the tribes;
They're tryin' to steal freedom once again.
But a vote for Brigid Connor
Is an independent voice,
And the people of the west will fight and win.
There's people up in Dublin
In their fortresses of steel,
Who would tell the birds just where to build their nests;
But we will build our houses
In our Fathers'Ancient Fields,
And they'll never beat the people of The West.
Chorus
Come out today, it's time we had our say,
It's time that we were standing in the sun;
Come out today, let no one bar the way
And vote O'Connor, Brigid No 1!Third Verse
You may talk of Mary Robinson,
Or the famous Grainne Waile,
Put any man or woman in the frame;
But there's a woman here
Who will rally without fear:
She's done it! Brigid Connor is her name.
So people of An Ghaeltacht,
Dingle, Camp and Annascaul,
Killorglin, Castlemaine and sweet Milltown,
And Maharees and Brandon,
Castlegregory, Lispole,
Vote for
Brigid, Independent, No 1
Chorus
Come out today, it's time we had our say,
It's time that we were standing in the sun;
Come out today, let no one bar the way
And vote O'Connor, Brigid No 1!
