'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
|
||
|
|
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
|
||
|
|
I listened awhile to the song she was humming
|
||
|
|
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
|

|
|
'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
|
||
|
|
On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming
|
||
|
|
I see them again, sure, in all my daydreaming
|
||
|
|
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

\beginverse
|
||
|
|
Some died on the glenside, some died near a stranger
|
||
|
|
And wise men have told us that their cause was a failure
|
||
|
|
They fought for old Ireland and they never feared danger
|
||
|
|
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

|
|
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
|
||
|
|
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
|
||
|
|
We may have brave men, but we'll never have better
|
||
|
|
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
