Down by the Glenside
CAPO 1/2
AmT'was down by theEm Genside, IAm met an oldEm woman
AmA plucking young Emnettles SheAm n'er saw mEme coming
I Amlistened Fawhile to the G7song she was G7humming
AmGlory-o, EmGlory-o to our E7bold FFeninG7an AmMen
When I was a young lad, their marching and drilling
Awoke in the glenside sounds awesome and thrilling
They loved dear old Ireland and to die they were willing
Glory-o, Glory-o to our bold Fenian men
Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
On brave manly forms, on eyes with hope gleaming
I see them again sure thru all my sad dreaming
Glory-o, Glory-o to our bold fenian men
Some died by the glenside, some died mid the stranger
And wise men have told us, our cause was a failure
But they loved poor old Ireland and never feared danger
Glory-o, Glory-o to our bold Fenian men
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her,
Be my life long or short, I will never forget her
We may have had good men, But we'll never have better
Glory-o, Glory-o, to our bold Fenian men
