'Twas down by the Glenside I met an old woman

  Am             G           C            Em
A plucking young nettles she ne'er saw me coming

  Am                      C            G
I listened a while to the song she was humming

      C       G        Am       G  Am
Glory o glory o to the Bold Fenian Men
Em Am Em Am [Verse 2]

'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beamin'

   Am           G         C              Em
On strong manly forms, on eyes with hope gleamin'

  Am                        C         G
I see them again, sure, in all my sad dreamin'

      C        G        Am       G  Am
Glory O, Glory O to the Bold Fenian Men
Em Am Em Am [Verse 3]
             G                 C            Em
When I was a young girl, their marching and drilling

  Am         G               C            Em
Awoke in the glenside sounds awesome and thrilling

     Am                         C             G
They loved dear old Ireland, to die they were willing

                 G              C           Em
Some died by the hillside, some died near a stranger

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

         Am                               C            G
But they fought for old Ireland and they never feared danger

Glory O, Glory O to the Bold Fenian Men

I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her

   Am           G                  C         Em
Be life long or short, sure I will never forget her

  Am                            C          G
We may have brave men but we'll never have better

      C        G        Am       G  Am
Glory O, Glory O to the Bold Fenian Men
Em Am Em Am Repeat[Verse 1]
