woodlands of loughglynn - ray mcareavey lyrics

[verse 1]
the summer sun was sinking low
behind the western sea
the lark’s loud song was pealing sweet
but it brought no joy to me
for the one i loved is far away
he’s left his tyrants den
he fought till death, and then he left
the woodlands of loughglynn

[verse 2]
a n0ble irishman was he
john berigan was his name
he belonged to tipperary
and from nenagh town he came
but now, thank god, that he is gone
away from harm and sin
and he let them have his parting shot in
the woodlands of loughglynn

[verse 3]
mcdermott too, was brave and truе
from the plains round ballinagare
he’s missеd from many a fireside
from the homes both near and far
he’s missed at home in brackloon
by his own dear kith and kin
and his is comrades true, shall miss him too
in the woodlands of loughglynn
[verse 4]
young bergin said that he was proud
to die for ireland’s cause
the deed was done that should be done
against england’s cruel laws
he said, “goodbye to tipperary
and to every dale and glen
and to all my faithful comrades
in the woodlands of loughglynn”

[verse 5]
“take this message to our own brave boys
and tell them we are dead
tell them to be of utmost cheer
and hold no drooping head
to keep old brains a*using
to fight and not give in
and be proud to die ‘neath an irish sky
in the woodlands of loughglynn”
