Em               Bm         Em         Bm
Tʼwas down by the Genside, I met an old woman
Em               Bm         Em         Bm
A plucking young nettles She nʼer saw me coming
  Em       C             A7           D7
I listened awhile to the song she was humming
Em       Bm             B7   C    D7 Em
Glory-o, Glory-o to our bold Feninan Men

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 weʼll never have better
Glory-o, Glory-o, to our bold Fenian men
