The Fenians From Cahirciveen - The Johnstons[00:00:00]
I am a bold Fenian from Cahirciveen[00:00:04]
That late took my gun for to fight for the green[00:00:08]
Over mountains and woodlands[00:00:12]
I wandered along[00:00:14]
Now I'll leave it alone and commence up my song[00:00:16]
We marched to Kells station that lies near the strand[00:00:20]
Where the sea rushes in with wild waves to the land[00:00:24]
And then you may say we had courage golore[00:00:28]
When Kells station was taken by the boys from Filemore[00:00:33]
We marched all along and our guns we did load[00:00:54]
We met a policeman on horse back he rode[00:00:58]
We asked him to surrender but the answer was No[00:01:02]
And a ball from young Conway soon levelled him low[00:01:06]
Again we marched on and our guns did reload[00:01:10]
We met Father Meegan and for him we bowed[00:01:14]
He gave us his blessing saying God be your friend[00:01:18]
On the mission for Freedom on which you are bent[00:01:22]
Come shoulder your arms come march and obey[00:01:27]
But alas we were beaten all on the next day[00:01:31]
Our plans were found out by some dirty old spy[00:01:35]
And on Captain Moriarty they did cast an eye[00:01:39]
Moriarty came in on the mail car next day[00:01:43]
To get all our brave boys for to join in the fray[00:01:47]
To our greatest surprise he was marched of to jail[00:01:51]
And you left us in sorrow our loss to bewail[00:01:55]
And it's over the mountains[00:02:09]
We went took our course[00:02:11]
Our stomachs being slack and our feel being sour[00:02:13]
We were in a number about sixty strong[00:02:17]
Surrounded by red coats for something went wrong[00:02:21]
So hurrah for the Fenians from Cahirciveen[00:02:25]
No bolder nor braver in Erin was seen[00:02:29]
No brivorers they trying to fight for the green[00:02:33]
Than the true hearted Fenians from Cahirciveen[00:02:37]
