Down By The Glenside |
| 'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman |
| A-plucking young nettles, she ne’er saw me coming |
| I listened a while to the song she was humming |
| Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men |
| 'Tis many long years since I saw the moon beaming |
| On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming |
| I’ll see them again, through all my sad dreams |
| Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men |
| Some died by the glenside, some died near a stranger |
| And wise men have told us that their cause was a failure |
| But they loved their old Ireland and they never feared danger |
| Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men |
| I passed on my way, Gods be praised that I met her |
| Be life long or short, sure I’ll never forget her |
| We may have brave men, but we’ll never have better |
| Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men |
