The Man of the West |
The Men of the West |
(William Rooney) |
When you honor in song and in story |
The names of the patriot men |
Whose valor has covered with glory |
Full many a mountain and glen |
Forget not the boys of the heather |
Who rallied their bravest and best |
When Ireland was broken in Wexford |
And looked for revenge to the West |
Cho: I give you the gallant old West, boys |
Where rallied our bravest and best |
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding; |
Hurrah for the men of the West! |
The hilltops with glory were glowing |
'Twas the eve of a bright harvest day |
When the ship we’d been wearily waiting |
Sailed into Killala’s broad bay |
And over the hills went the slogan |
To awaken in every breast |
The fire that has never been quenched, boys |
Among the true hearts of the West |
Cho: |
Killala was ours ere the midnight |
And high over Ballina town |
Our banners in triumph were waving |
Before the next sun had gone down |
We gathered to speed the good work, boys |
The true men from near and afar; |
And history can tell how we routed |
The redcoats through old Castlebar |
Cho: |
And pledge me the stout sons of France, boys |
Bold Humbert and all his brave men |
Whose tramp, like the trumpet of battle |
Brought hope to the drooping again |
Since Ireland has caught to her bosom |
On many a mountain and hill |
The gallants who fell, so they’re here, boys |
To cheer us to victory still |
Cho: |
Though all the bright dreamings we cherished |
Went down in disaster and woe |
The spirit of old is still with us |
That never would bend to the foe |
And Connaught is ready whenever |
The loud rolling tuck of the drum |
Rings out to awaken the echoes |
And tell us the morning has come |
Cho: |
