Christy Moore - Galtee Mountain Boy Lyrics
I joined the Flying Column in 1916
In Cork with Seán Moylan, In Tipperary with Dan Breen
Arrested by Free Staters and sentenced... to die
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Seán Hogan and Dan Breen
Seán Moylan and his gallant men they kept the flag flying high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
We tracked the Dublin mountains we were rebels on the run
Though hunted night and morning we were outlawed but free men
We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the sun was shining high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy
I'm bidding farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
To the men who fought for their liberty and died without a sigh
May the cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee Mountain Boy
