Sean South/ Broad Black Brimmer - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
Sad are the homes round Garryowen[00:00:13]
Since they lost their joy and pride[00:00:17]
And the banshee cry links every vale[00:00:21]
Around the Shannon side[00:00:25]
That city of the ancient walls[00:00:28]
The broken treaty stone [00:00:30]
Undying fame surrounds your name [00:00:33]
Sean South from Garryowen[00:00:36]
T'was on a dreary New Years Eve[00:00:41]
As the shades of night came down[00:00:45]
A lorry load of volunteers approached the border town[00:00:49]
There were men from Dublin and from Cork [00:00:57]
Fermanagh and Tyrone[00:01:01]
And the leader was a Limerick man[00:01:04]
Sean South from Garryowen[00:01:08]
As they moved along the street up to the barracks door[00:01:14]
They scorned the danger they might face[00:01:22]
Their fate that lay instore[00:01:26]
They were fighting for old Ireland to claim their very own[00:01:29]
And the foremost of that gallant band[00:01:37]
Was South from Garryowen[00:01:41]
But the seargent spied their daring plan[00:01:52]
He spied them trough the door[00:01:56]
The Sten guns and the rifles a hail of death did pour[00:02:00]
And when that awful night was passed[00:02:08]
Two men lay cold a stone[00:02:11]
There was one from near the border[00:02:15]
And one from Garryowen[00:02:19]
No more he will hear the seagull's cry[00:02:23]
Over the murmurring Shannon tide[00:02:27]
For he fell beneath a Northern sky[00:02:30]
Brave Hanlon by his side[00:02:35]
They have gone to join that gallant band[00:02:38]
Of Plunkett Pearse and Tone[00:02:42]
A martyr for old Ireland[00:02:46]
Was South from Garryowen[00:02:50]
