Gallant John Joe - Ian Corrigan/The Mainliners[00:00:00]

In the month of November[00:00:06]

On a cold stormy day[00:00:08]

I left my old home and[00:00:11]

To town made my way[00:00:13]

I met with a young man[00:00:16]

On the road I did go[00:00:18]

And he told me the news[00:00:20]

Of the death of John Joe[00:00:22]

John Joe O'Reilly[00:00:27]

Has left us behind[00:00:29]

He was called by the Lord[00:00:31]

To his faithful and kind [00:00:33]

He brought him to Heaven [00:00:36]

That proud land to show[00:00:38]

A true son of Breffni [00:00:41]

Is the gallant John Joe[00:00:43]

Brave clann O'Reilly [00:00:47]

Proud is your name[00:00:50]

You've reared many sons[00:00:52]

Of great honour and fame[00:00:54]

But not even the princes of long [00:00:56]

Long ago[00:01:00]

Could compare with our sportsman [00:01:01]

The Gallant John Joe[00:01:04]

His record's a proud one[00:01:07]

Without blemish or stain[00:01:09]

From he played his first[00:01:12]

Football with famed Cornafean[00:01:13]

Till he's laid in his cold grave[00:01:16]

Where the wild flowers grow[00:01:19]

A true son of Breffni[00:01:21]

Is the gallant John Joe[00:01:24]

He led Cavan to victory[00:01:32]

On that memorable day[00:01:34]

In the final against Kerry[00:01:37]

In New York far away[00:01:39]

The next year in Croke Park[00:01:41]

When our boys beat Mayo[00:01:44]

Once again they were led[00:01:46]

By the gallant John Joe[00:01:48]

In each corner of Breifne [00:01:52]

There's sorrow and pain[00:01:55]

Such a true-hearted sportsman [00:01:57]

We'll ne'er see again[00:01:59]

New players may come[00:02:02]

And old players may go[00:02:04]

But we'll ne'er have another[00:02:06]

Like the gallant John Joe[00:02:09]

New players may come[00:02:12]

And old players may go[00:02:15]

But we'll ne'er have another[00:02:17]

Like the gallant John Joe[00:02:20]
