LET ERIN REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD. AKA and see "Red Fox (3) (The)." Irish, Air (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Let Erin remember the days of old" is a song by Thomas Moore set to the old tune "Red Fox (3) (The)." It was printed in Moore's Irish Melodies (1821). It begins:
Let Erin remember the days of old,
Ere her faithless sous betray'd her;
When Malachi wore the collar of gold,
Which he won from her proud invader;
When her kings, with standard of green unfurl'd
Led the Red-Branch Knights to danger;
Ere the emerald gem of the western world
Was set in the crown of a stranger.
