Вступление
Based on Paddy Reily's version in his album "Green Shamrock Shore".
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I joined the Flying Column in 1916
In Cork with Seán Moylan,In Tipperary with Dan Breen
Arrested by Free Staters and sentenced for to die
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
[Verse 2]
We went across the valleys and over the hilltops green
Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Seán Hogan and Dan Breen
Seán Moylan and his gallant men who kept the flag flying high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
We tracked the Wicklow mountains we were rebels on the run
Though hunted night and morning we were outlawed but free men
We tracked the Dublin mountains as the sun was rising high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
[Verse 4]
I've bid farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
And to the Galtee mountains that oft times sheltered me
To the men who fought for their liberty and died without a sigh
May the cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee Mountain Boy
[Outro]
