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