KELLY, THE BOY FROM KILLANE - THE DUBLINERS

C F C Am
What's the news, what's the news oh my bold Shelmalier
C G C
With your long barrelled guns from the sea
C F C Am
Say what wind from the south brings a messenger here
C G C
With the hymn of the dawn for the free
F C
Goodly news, goodly news do I bring youth of Forth
F G
Goodly news shall you hear Bargy man
C F C Am
For the boys march at dawn from the south to the north
C G C
Led by Kelly the boy from Killane


C F C Am
Tell me who is that giant with the gold curling hair
C G C
He who rides at the head of your band
C F C Am
Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare
C G C
And he looks like a king in command
F C
Ah my boys that's the pride of the bold Shelmaliers
F G
'Mongst our greatest of hero's a man
C F C Am
Fling your beavers aloft and give three ringing cheers
C G C
For John Kelly the boy from Killane


C F C Am
Enniscorthy's in flames and old Wexford is won
C G C
And tomorrow the Barrow we will cross
C F C Am
On a hill o'er the town we have planted a gun
C G C
That will batter the gateway to Ross
F C
All the Forth men and Bargy men will march o'er the heath
F G
With brave Harvey to lead in the van
C F C Am
But the foremost of all in that grim gap of death
C G C
Will be Kelly the boy from Killane


C F C Am
But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross
C G C
As it set by the Slaney's red waves
C F C Am
And poor Wexford stripped naked, hung high on a cross
C G C
With her heart pierced by traitors and slaves
F C
Glory-o, glory-o to her brave sons who died
F G
For the cause of long down-trodden man
C F C Am
Glory-o to Mount Leinster's own darling and pride
C G C
Dauntless Kelly the boy from Killane
