Galtee Mountain Boy

Lyrics

I joined the flying column in 1916
 In Cork with Sean Moylan
 Tipperary with Dan Breen
 Arrested by freestaters and sentanced for to die
 Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee
 Mountain Boy
 We went across the vallys and ore the hill tops green
 Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Sean Hogan and Dan Breen
 Sean Moylan and his gallant men they kept
 the flag flying high
 Farewell to Tipperary said the GAltee mountain boy
 We tracked the Dublin mountains we were
 Rebels on the run
 Though hunted night and morning we were
 outlaws but free men
 We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the
 sun was shining high
 Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee mountain boy
 I bid farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
 and to the Galtee mountain that oft times
 sheltered me
 The men who fought for their liberty and
 who died without a sigh
 May their cause be ne're forgotten said the
 Galtee mountain boy
