Verse 1
What's the news, what's (D major)
the news, O me bold (G major) Shelmalier
With your (D major) long barrel (A major) guns
from the (D major) sea?
Say, what wind from the south
brings a messenger (G major) here
With this (D major) hymn of the
(A major) dawn for the (D major) free?
Goodly (G major) news,
goodly news do I (D major) bring youth of Forth
Goodly (G major) news shall I hear (A major) Bargy man.
For the (D major) boys march at morn
from the south to the (G major) north
Led by (D major) Kelly, the (A major) boy from (D major) Killane.

Verse 2
Tell me who is the giant with the (D major)
gold curling (G major) hair
He who (D major) rides at the (A major) head of your (D major) band.
Seven feet is his height with some
inches to (G major) spare
And he (D major) looks like a (A major) king in (D major) command.
O me (G major) boys that's the pride of the
(D major) bold Shelmalier
'Mongst our (G major) greatest
of heroes a (A major) man
Fling your (D major) beavers aloft and give
three ringing (G major) cheers
For John (D major) Kelly,
the (A major) boy from (D major) Killane.
Verse 3
(D major) Enniscorthy is in flames
and old Wexford is (G major) won
And (D major) to morrow the (A major) barrow will (D major) cross
On the hill o'er the town
we have planted a (G major) gun
That will (D major) batter the (A major) gateway to (D major) Ross.
All the (G major) Forth men and Bargy men will
(D major) march o'er the heath
With brave (G major) Harvey to lead in the (A major) van
But the (D major) foremost of all in the
grim gap of (G major) death
Will be (D major) Kelly, the (A major) boy from (D major) Killane.
Verse 4
But the gold sun of (D major) freedom
grew darkened at (G major) Ross
And it set (D major) by (A major) the Slaney's red wave... (D major)
And poor Wexford stripped naked
hung high (G major) on a cross
With her heart (D major) pierced by
(A major) traitors and knaves. (D major)
Glory- (G major) o, Glory- o to her
(D major) brave men who died
For the (G major) cause of long down-
trodden (A major) man.
Glory- (D major) o to Mount- Leinster's
own darling and (G major) pride
Dauntless (D major) Kelly, the (A major) boy from Killane.
