Song language: English
Tipperary so Far Away |
| The moon it shone down on old Dublin town |
| When the deadly fight was o’er |
| Thousands lay on the cold cold ground |
| Their lives to claim no more |
| The moon shone on O’Connell Street |
| Where a dying young rebel lay |
| With his body gashed and his arms outstretched |
| And his life’s blood flowing away |
| A passing comrade heard the moans |
| The sufferer soon was found |
| Softly, gently he raised his head |
| Up from the cold cold ground |
| Softly, gently, «Comrade», he cried |
| «No longer on earth can I stay |
| I will never more roam through my own native home |
| Tipperary so far away» |
| His comrades gathered around him |
| To bid him a last farewell |
| He was as true and as brave a lad |
| That ever in battle fell |
| They dug a grave and in it they laid |
| The bones of Sean Treacy so brave |
| He will never more roam to his native home |
| Tipperary so far away |
