Bold Fenian Men Lyrics - Judy Collins

'Twas down by the glenside, I spied an old woman 

She was plucking young nettles, she scarce saw me coming 

I listened a while to the song she was humming 

Glory O, Glory O to our bold Fenian men 

'Tis sixteen long years since I saw the moon beaming 

On strong manly forms and their eyes were hot gleaming 

I see them on a, sure, in all my daydreaming 

Glory O, Glory O to our bold Fenian men 

Some died on the hillside, some died with a stranger 

And wise men have judged that their cause was a failure 

They fought for their freedom and they never feared danger 

Glory O, Glory O to our bold Fenian men

I passed on my way, thanks to God that I met her 

Be life long or short sure I'll never forget her 

There may have been brave men but they'll never be better 

Glory O, Glory O to our bold Fenian men
