Lyrics
I joined the Flying Column in 19 and 16
In Cork with Sean Moylan in Tipperary with Dan Breen
I'm arrested by Free Staters and sentenced for to die
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain boy
We climbed the hills and valleys and over the hilltops green
Where I met with Dinny Lacey, Sean Hogan, and Dan Breen
Sean Moylan and his gallant band they kept the flag flying high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain boy
We climbed the Wicklow Mountains we were outlaws on the run
Though hunted night and morning we were rebels but free men
We climbed the Dublin Mountains as the sun was shining high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain boy
I'll bid farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
And to the Galtee Mountains that oft-times sheltered me
The boys who fought for their liberty and died without a sigh
May their cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee Mountain boy
