Sean South Of Garyowen 歌词

Sad are the homes 'round Garryowen Since lost their joy and pride And the banshee cry links every vale Along the Shannon's side That city of the ancient walls Unbroken city stone Undying fame surround your name Sean South of Garryowen Twas on a dreary New Year's Eve As the shades of night came down A lorry-load of volunteers Approached the border town There were men from Dublin and from Cork Fermanagh and Tyrone And the leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Garryowen And as they moved along the street Up to the barracks door They scorned the danger they might face Their fate that lay in store They were fighting for Old Ireland To claim their very own And the foremost of this gallant band Was South from Garryowen But the sergeant spoiled their daring plan He spied them through the door The sten guns and the rifles A hail of death did pour And when that awful night was past Two men lay as cold as stone There was one from near the border And one from Garryowen No more he'll hear the seagulls cry Or the murm'ring Shannon tide For he fell beneath that northern sky Brave Hanlon by his side He has gone to join that gallant band Of Plunkett, Pearse and Tone A martyr for Old Ireland Sean South from Garryowen
