Judy Collins – Bold Fenian Men (Guitar)

      Am          G           Am         C
'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman

  Am             C            Am        C
A-plucking young nettles, nor saw I was coming

  Am        F            D            G
I listened awhile to the song she was humming

      Am       Em             F  G   Am
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

                G             Am           C
'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming

    Am           C                Am             C
And strong manly forms, and their eyes with hope gleaming

  Am        F                   D           G
I see them again, sure, through all my days dreaming

      Am       Em             F  G   Am
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

             G              Am           C
When I was a colleen, their marching and drilling

 Am          C                Am          C
Awoke by the glenside, sounds awesome and thrilling

         Am             F               D             G
But they loved dear old Ireland, and to die they were willing

      Am       Em             F  G   Am
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

                 G              Am        C
Some died by the glenside, some died amid strangers

    Am            C             Am          C
And wise men have told us their cause was a failure

         Am           F           D            G
But they stood by old Ireland and never feared danger

      Am       Em             F  G   Am
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

               G           Am             C
I passed on my way, god be praised that I met her

   Am           C              Am       C
Be life long or short, I shall never forget her

       Am             F              D          G
And we may have great men, but we'll never have better

      Am       Em             F  G   Am
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
