Verse 1
(C major) What's the news, what's the news,
O my bold chandelier,
With your long barrel guns (G major) of the (C major) sea?
Say, what wind from the south
brings a messenger here,
With the hymn of the (G major) dawn for all (C major) to hear?
Girly noose, girly noose,
do I bring you the port,
Girly noose, shall you hear my de (G major) mand?
(C major) For the (G major) boys march at (C major) dawn
from the south to the north,
Led by Kelly, the boy from Colland.
Tell me who is the giant
with the gold curling hair,
He who rides at the (G major) head of your (C major) band.
Seven feet (G major) is his (C major) height
with some inches to spare,
And he looks like a king in command.
All my boys,
that's the pride of the Bolsheviks,
One of the greatest of heroes of (G major) man.
Fling (C major) your beaver (G major) s aloft (C major)
and give three ringin' cheers
For John Kelly, the boy from Cullan
Hang the scarpies in flames
and the wags for this (A minor) one
An (C major) d the barrow tomorrow we will cross
On the hill or the town
we have planted a gun
That will batter the gateway to Ross
All the (F major) portmen and bergymen
(C major) will march o 'er the heath,
With brave Harvey to (F major) lead in the (G major) band.
But the foremost (C major) of all
in the grim gavel -clad
Will be Kelly, the boy from Galad.
But the gold sun of freedom
grow (A minor) darkene (C major) (A minor) d at Ross,
And it's (C major) said by (G major) the Slaney's red waves, (C major)
And poor Wexford, stripped naked,
hung high on (A minor) a cross,
With her heart (C major) pierced
by traitors (G major) and slaves. (C major)
Glory, (F major) oh, glory, oh,
(C major) to her brave sons who died,
For the (F major) cause of long down
-trodden (G major) man.
(C major) Glory, oh, to Mount Lens,
Burns so darling and bright,
God bless Kelly, the boy from Calan. (C major)
