Valley of Knockanure - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan[00:00:00]

You may sing or speak about Easter Week[00:00:00]

On the heroes of ninety-eight[00:00:04]

Or the Fenian men who roamed the glen[00:00:08]

In victory or defeat[00:00:12]

Their names on history's page are told[00:00:16]

Their memory will endure[00:00:20]

Not a song was sung of our darling sons[00:00:24]

In the valley of Knockanure[00:00:28]

There was Walsh and Lyons and the Dalton boy[00:00:32]

They were young and in their prime[00:00:36]

They rambled to a lonely spot[00:00:40]

Where the Black and Tans did hide[00:00:44]

The Republic bold they did uphold[00:00:47]

Though outlawed on the moor[00:00:51]

And side by side[00:00:55]

They fought and died[00:00:57]

In the valley of Knockanure[00:00:58]

'Twas on a neighbouring hillside[00:01:03]

We listened with hushed dismay[00:01:06]

In every house[00:01:10]

In every town[00:01:12]

The mating knelt to pray[00:01:14]

They're closing in around them now[00:01:18]

With rifle fire so sure[00:01:21]

And Lyons is dead and Dalton's down[00:01:25]

In the valley of Knockanure[00:01:29]

But ere the guns can seal his fate[00:01:33]

Can vail and broken through[00:01:36]

With a prayer to God[00:01:40]

He spun the sod as against the hill he flew[00:01:42]

But the bullets they told his flesh in two[00:01:48]

He cried with voice so sure[00:01:51]

Revenge I'll get for my comrades' deaths[00:01:55]

In the valley of Knockanure[00:01:58]

Oh the summer sun is sinking[00:02:02]

Now behind the field and lea[00:02:06]

The pale pale moonlight is rising[00:02:10]

Far around beyond Tralee[00:02:13]

The dismal stars and clouds afar[00:02:18]

Are darkening over the moor[00:02:21]

And the banshee cried[00:02:25]

When I hear those died[00:02:27]

In the valley of Knockanure[00:02:28]
