'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
|

|
|
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

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

Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
