THE WOLFE TONES

SEAN SOUTH OF GARRYOWEN



This song is about Sean South who was shot dead, along with Fergal O'Hanlon, during

a daring raid on an R.U.C. base during the I.R.A.'s border campaign of 1956-1962.





(spoken)

Sad are the homes 'round Garryowen

Since lost their giant pride

And the banshee cry links every vale

Around the Shannon side

that city of the ancient walls

Unbroken Treaty Stone, undying fame

Surrounds your name, Sean South of Garryowen



Verse 1

         G

  T'was on a dreary New Year's Eve

                   C          G

  As the shades of night came down

                  C    G

  A lorry load of volunteers

    C            Am     D7 

  Approached the border town

             G               C        G

  There were men from Dublin and from Cork

     C      Am    D7

  Fermanagh and Tyrone

          G

  And the leader was a Limerick man-

                  C    G

  Sean South from Garryowen



Verse 2

  As they moved along the street

  Up to the barracks door

  They scorned the danger they might face

  Their fate that lay in store

  They were fighting for old Ireland's cause

  To claim their very own

  And the foremost of that gallant band

  Was South from Garryowen



Verse 3

  But the sergeant spied their daring plan

  He spied them through the door

  The Sten guns and the rifles

  A hail of death did pour

  And when that awful night was passed

  Two men lay as cold as stone

  There was one from near the border

  And one from Garryowen



Verse 4

  No more will he hear the seagull's cry

  Over the murmuring Shannon tide

  For he fell beneath a northern sky

  Brave Hanlon by his side

  They had gone to join that gallant band

  Of Plunkett, Pearse and Tone

  A martyr for old Ireland

  Sean South from Garryowen
