[00:00.00]Sean South - Briege Corey
[00:06.68]Was on a dreary new years day
[00:11.39]As the shade of night came down
[00:15.57]And a lorry load of volunteers
[00:20.44]Approached the border town
[00:24.46]There were men from cork and dublin
[00:29.17]Fermanagh and tyrone
[00:33.14]As the leader was a limerick man
[00:38.01]Sean south of garryowen
[00:46.61]And as they marched along
[00:49.94]The street up to the barracks door
[00:55.48]They scorned the danger
[00:58.02]They would meet the fate that lay in store
[01:04.17]They were fighting for old ireland
[01:08.90]To make their very own
[01:12.95]And the foremost of
[01:15.22]This gallant band was south of garryowen
[01:26.34]But the seargant spoiled their daring
[01:30.04]Plans he spied them through the door
[01:35.04]And with sten guns and rifle
[01:39.69]A hail of death did pour
[01:43.81]And after that awful night
[01:47.15]Was past two men lay cold as stone
[01:52.64]There was one young man from border
[01:57.21]And one from garryowen
[02:05.97]No more he'll hear the seagull cry
[02:10.56]Or the murmuring shannon tide
[02:14.56]For he fell beneath a northern sky
[02:19.29]O'hanlon by his side
[02:23.43]He has gone to be that gallant
[02:27.91]A plunkett pearse and tone
[02:32.03]A martyr for old ireland
[02:36.66]Come south of garryowen
