I[G] joined the flying[C] col[G]umn in [C]19[G]16
In Cork with Sean[D] Moy[G]lan [C]Tipperary with Dan[G] Breen
Arrested by free[D] sta[G]ters and [C]sentenced for to[G] die
Farewell to Tippe[C]rar[G]y said the Galtee[C] mountain[G] boy
[2]
We went across the vallys and over the hilltops green
Where we met with Dinny Lacey,Sean Hogan and Dan Breen
Sean Moylan and his gallant men they kept the flag flying high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee mountain boy
[3]
We tracked the Dublin mountains we were rebels on the run
Though hunted night and morning we were outlaws but free men
We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the sun was shining high
Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee mountain boy
[4]
I bid farewell to old Clonmel that I never more will see
And to the Galtee mountain that oft times sheltered me
The men who fought for their liberty and who died without a sigh
May their cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee mountain boy

The Tin Whistle Notes For The Galtee Mountain Boy
The above version of the tin whistle notes are my own version of the song. Depending on who you listen to they all sing it slightly differently. When I play in on the whistle these are the notes I use, if somebody else had to sit down and work out the notes they may come up with something else. Return to Lyrics And Chords From G-J
