Lyrics Sean South of Garryowen - The Wolfe Tones
Sad
are
the
homes
round
Garryowen
Since
they
lost
their
joy
and
pride
And
the
banshee
cry
links
every
vale
Around
the
Shannon
side
that
city
of
the
ancient
walls
The
broken
treaty
stone,
undying
fame
surrounds
your
name,
Sean
South
from
Garryowen
T'was
on
a
dreary
New
Years
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
As
they
moved
along
the
street
up
to
the
barracks
door
They
scorned
the
danger
they
might
face
Their
fate
taht
lay
instore
They
were
fighting
for
old
Ireland
to
clim
their
very
own
And
the
foremost
of
that
gallant
band
Was
South
from
Garryowen
But
the
seargent
spied
their
daring
plan
He
spied
them
trough
the
door
The
Sten
guns
and
the
rifles
a
hail
of
death
did
pour
And
when
that
awful
night
had
passed
Two
men
lay
cold
a
s
stone
There
was
one
from
near
the
border
twn
and
one
from
Garryowen
No
more
wil
he
hear
the
seagull's
cry
Over
the
murmurring
Shannon
tide
For
he
fell
beneath
a
Northern
sky
brave
Hanlon
by
his
side
They
have
gone
to
join
that
gallant
band
Of
Plunkett,
Pearse
and
Tone
A
martyr
for
old
Ireland
Sean
South
from
Garryowen
