I joined the Flying Column in 1916 In Cork with Seán Moylan,In Tipperary with Dan Breen Arrested by Free Staters and sentenced .. to die Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy We went across the valleys and over the hilltops green Where we met with Dinny Lacey, Seán Hogan and Dan Breen Seán Moylan and his gallant men they kept the flag flying high Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy We tracked the Dublin mountains we were rebels on the run Though hunted night and morning we were outlawed but free men We tracked the Wicklow mountains as the sun was shining high Farewell to Tipperary said the Galtee Mountain Boy I'm bidding farewell to old Clonmel that 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 the cause be ne'er forgotten said the Galtee Mountain Boy
