Flying Column - Sean South / Boys of Wexford / Bold Fenian Men şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Flying Column

albüm: Favourite Irish Rebel Ballads


'Twas on a dreary New Year's Eve as the shade of night came down
A lorry load of Volunteers approached the border town
There were men from Dublin and from Cork, Fermanagh, and Tyrone
And the leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Garryowen
And as they moved along the street up to the barrack door
They scorned the danger they would meet the fate that lay in store
They were fighting for old Ireland to claim their very own
And the foremost of that gallant band was South from Garryowen
In comes the captain's daughter the captain of the Yeos
Brave United Irishmen we'll ne'er again be foes
A thousand pounds I give to you to fly from home with me
And dress yourself in man's attire and fight for liberty
We are the boys of Wexford who fought with heart and hand
And burst in twain the galling chain and free our native land
And it's he who comes over the red blossom heather
Green banners kissing the pure mountain air
Direct eyes in front marching proudly together
Freedom sits throned on each proud spirit there
While down the hill twining the blessed steel shining
Like rivers of beauty that flow down the glen
For mountain and valley 'tis liberty's rally
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men
But the sergeant spoiled their
Daring plan he spied them through the door
Then the Sten guns and the rifles too a hail of death did pour
And when that awful night was o'er two men lay cold as stone
There was one from near the border and one from Garryowen
No more he'll hear the seagull's cry or the murmuring Shannon's tide
For he fell beneath our northern sky O'Hanlon by his side
They have gone to join the gallant band of Plunkett, Pearse and Tone
Another martyr for old Ireland Sean South from Garryowen
