Sean South - Briege Corey[00:00:00]
Was on a dreary new years day[00:00:06]
As the shade of night came down[00:00:11]
And a lorry load of volunteers[00:00:15]
Approached the border town[00:00:20]
There were men from cork and dublin[00:00:24]
Fermanagh and tyrone[00:00:29]
As the leader was a limerick man[00:00:33]
Sean south of garryowen[00:00:38]
And as they marched along[00:00:46]
The street up to the barracks door[00:00:49]
They scorned the danger[00:00:55]
They would meet the fate that lay in store[00:00:58]
They were fighting for old ireland[00:01:04]
To make their very own[00:01:08]
And the foremost of[00:01:12]
This gallant band was south of garryowen[00:01:15]
But the seargant spoiled their daring[00:01:26]
Plans he spied them through the door[00:01:30]
And with sten guns and rifle[00:01:35]
A hail of death did pour[00:01:39]
And after that awful night[00:01:43]
Was past two men lay cold as stone[00:01:47]
There was one young man from border[00:01:52]
And one from garryowen[00:01:57]
No more he'll hear the seagull cry[00:02:05]
Or the murmuring shannon tide[00:02:10]
For he fell beneath a northern sky[00:02:14]
O'hanlon by his side[00:02:19]
He has gone to be that gallant[00:02:23]
A plunkett pearse and tone[00:02:27]
A martyr for old ireland[00:02:32]
Come south of garryowen[00:02:36]
