kelly the boy from killanne - the clancy brothers & tommy makem lyrics
what’s the news? what’s the news? o my bold shelmalier
with your long*barrelled gun, of the sea?
say, what wind from the sun blows his messenger here
with a hymn of the dawn for the free?
“goodly news, goodly news, do i bring, youth of forth
goodly news do i bring, bargy man
for the boys march at dawn from the south to the north
led by kelly, the boy from k!llanne”
tell me who is the giant with the gold curling hair
he who rides at the head of the band?
seven feet is his height, with some inches to spare
and he looks like a king in command
“oh, me boys, that’s the pride of the bold shelmaliers
“mongst our greatest of heroes, a man
fling your beavers aloft and give three rousing cheers
for john kelly, the boy from k!llanne”
enniscorthy’s in flames, and old wexford is won
and the barrow tomorrow we cross
on a hill o’er the town we have planted a gun
that will batter the gateways to ross
all the forth men and bargy men march over the heath
with brave harvey to lead on the van
but the foremost of all in that grim gap of death
will be kelly, the boy from k!llanne
but the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at ross
and it set by the slaney’s red waves;
and poor wexford, stript naked, hung high on a cross
with her heart pierced by traitors and slaves
glory o! glory o! to her brave sons who died
for the cause of long*down*trodden man
glory o! to mount leinster’s own darling and pride
dauntless kelly, the boy from k!llanne
