Wolfe Tones - Sean SOuth From Garryowen Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Sad are the homes round Garryowen
  • Since they lost their joy and pride
  • And the banshee cry links every vale
  • Around the Shannon side that city of the ancient walls
  • The broken treaty stone, undying fame surrounds your name, Sean South from Garryowen
  • T'was on a dreary New Years Eve
  • As the shades 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
  • As they moved along the street up to the barracks door
  • They scorned the danger they might face
  • Their fate taht lay instore
  • They were fighting for old Ireland to clim their very own
  • And the foremost of that gallant band
  • Was South from Garryowen
  • But the seargent spied their daring plan
  • He spied them trough the door
  • The Sten guns and the rifles a hail of death did pour
  • And when that awful night had passed
  • Two men lay cold a s stone
  • There was one from near the border twn and one from Garryowen
  • No more wil he hear the seagull's cry
  • Over the murmurring Shannon tide
  • For he fell beneath a Northern sky brave Hanlon by his side
  • They have gone to join that gallant band
  • Of Plunkett, Pearse and Tone
  • A martyr for old Ireland
  • Sean South from Garryowen
