Those are the lyrics to an Old Irish Folk Song. It is about the Irish War of Independence 1919-1921
"Where are the lads that stood with me
When history was made?
A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
The boys of the old brigade.
And now, my boy, I’ve told you why
On Easter morn’ I sigh,
For I recall my comrades all
And dark old days gone by.
I think of men who fought in glen
With rifle and grenade.
May heaven keep the men who sleep
From the ranks of the old brigade."

Gone, gone away.
In the muted ground they lay.
