Down by the glenside I met an old woman<\/p>\n
She was plucking young nettles and ne\u2019er saw me comin\u2019<\/p>\n
I listened awhile to the song she was humming<\/p>\n
Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold Fenian men.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was a young girl they were marching and drilling<\/p>\n
A walk through the glenside astounding and thrilling<\/p>\n
But they loved dear old Ireland, to die they were willing<\/p>\n
Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold Fenian men.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s thirty long years since I saw the moon beaming<\/p>\n
On brave manly forms with hopes all a-gleaming<\/p>\n
I see them again, through all my sad dreaming<\/p>\n
Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold Fenian men.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some died by the glenside, some died \u2018midst the stranger<\/p>\n
And wise men have told us their cause was a failure<\/p>\n
But they loved dear old Ireland, and never feared danger<\/p>\n
Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold Fenian men.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her<\/p>\n
Be life long or short, I will never forget her<\/p>\n
We may have good men, but we\u2019ll never have better<\/p>\n
Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold Fenian men.<\/p>\n
