The Galtee Mountain Boy |
| 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 |
