An old woman was singing and seemed to be praising the bold Fenian men.
She was daydreaming about those bold Fenian men.
Down By The Glenside
The Bold Fenian Men
Em Bm Em Bm
"Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
Em Bm Em Bm
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
Em C A7 D7
I listened awhile to the song she was singing
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men
Em
Bm Em Bm
'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
Em Bm Em Bm
On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming
Em C A7 D7
I see them again, sure, in all my daydreaming
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.
Em Bm Em Bm
Some died on the glenside, some died near a stranger
Em Bm Em Bm
And wise men have told us that their cause was a failure
Em C A7 D7
They fought for old Ireland and they never feared danger
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.
Em Bm Em Bm
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
Em Bm Em Bm
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
Em C A7 D7
We may have brave men, but we'll never have better
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.
