Sad are the homes around Garryowen, since they lost their gal land pride,
but the banshee cry, rings every vale along the Shannon side, that city of the
ancient walls, the broken treaty stone, on dying fame surrounds your name Sean
South From Garryowen.
It was Gon a dreary new year's eve as the Cmajshades of night cameG down,
A lorry load of vCmajolunteersG/F# apprEmoched tCmajhe borAm7der Dtown,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# Em Cmaj Am7 D
There was men from Dublin and from Cork,Fermanagh and Tyrone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G
And their leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Garryowen
GAnd as they moved along the streets up Cmajto the barrack Gdoor,
They scorned the danger Cmajthey might faGce,G/F#the fEmate that Cmajlay iAm7n stDore,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# Em Cmaj Am7 D
They were fighting for old Ireland,to claim their very own,
E/F#/G Cmaj G
And the foremost of that gallant band was South from Garryowen.
GBut the sergent foiled their daring plan,he Cmajspied them through the Gdoor,
Then the Sten guns and the Cmajrifles aG/F# hailEm of dCmajeath Am7did Dpour,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# Em Cmaj Am7 D
And when that auful night was past,two men lay as cold as stone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G
There was one from near the border,and one from Garryowen.
GNo more he'll hear the seagull cry Cmajo're the murmuring Shannon Gtide,
For he fell beneath a CmajNorthern sky,G/F#braveEm Hanlon bCmajy hisAm7 sidDe,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# Em Cmaj Am7 D
They have gone to join that gallant band of Plunkett Pearse and Tone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G
A martyr for old Ireland,Sean South from Garryowen
