歌词
On the Galtimore Mountains
So far far away
I will tell you a story
That happened one day
It's about a young colleen
Her age was 16
And she carried the banner
White, orange and green
A bold English Bobby
By chance passed that way
Saying "Who is the maid
With the banner so gay"
With a laugh and sneer
He got off his machine
Determined to capture
The flag of Sinn Féin
"Oh give me that banner"
The bold Bobby cried
"Give me that banner
And do what is right
Give me that banner
And do not be mean
For I must have that emblem
The flag of Sinn Féin"
"I'll not give you that banner"
The young maiden cried
"Till your blood and my blood
Its colours have dyed
For I have here a rifle
And that's nothing mean
And it's proudly I'll die
For the flag of Sinn Féin!"
The peeler's red face
Turned as white as the snow
He mounted his cycle
And started to go
Saying "What is the use
When maid of 16
Would die for her country(???)
White orange and green"
That very same day
In sweet Tipperary town
That gallant young girl
From the Galties came down
Her poor heart was torn
With anguish and pain
For that very same day
Mickey died for Sinn Féin
Now you young men and maidens
From Erin's green shore
Raise a cheer for the maid
From the proud Galtimore
And please keep on fighting
The cause of Sinn Féin
Till we make dear Old Ireland
A republic again
