Lyrics The Galtee Mountain Boy - Paddy Reilly

I joined the flying column in 1916
In Cork with Sean Moylan
Tipperary with Dan Breen
Arrested by freestaters and sentanced for to die
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee
Mountain Boy
We went across the vallys and ore the hill tops green
Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Sean Hogan and Dan Breen
Sean 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
Outlaws but free men
We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the
Sun was shining high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee mountain boy
I bid farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
And to the Galtee mountain that oft times
Sheltered me
The men who fought for their liberty and
Who died without a sigh
May their cause be ne′re forgotten said the
Galtee mountain bo
