(C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
(C major)
Verse 1
What's the (C major) news,
what's the (F major) news?
Oh, my (C major) boat shall maleer (A minor)
With your (G major) long -bottle guns from the (C major) sea
Say, what wind from the (F major) south
brings a (C major) messenger here
(A minor) With the (G major) hymn of a dawn for the (C major) free?
Goodly (F major) news!
Goodly news!
Do I (C major) bring you the fort?
Goodly (F major) news!
Shall you hear, bargy (G major) man?
For the (C major) boys march at (F major) morn
from the (C major) south to the (A minor) north
Led by Kelly, (G major) the boy from Canaan (C major)
Tell me, who is (D flat major) the (F sharp major) gi ant
with (F major) the (C major) gold curling hair? (A minor)
He who (C major) rides (G major) at the head of your (C major) band
Seven feet is his (F major) height,
with some (C major) inches to (A minor) spare,
And he (G major) looks like a king in com (C major) mand.
Ah, my (F major) boys, that's the pride of
the (C major) Bolshelmeleers,
Amongst our (F major) greatest of heroes a (G major) man.
Fling your (C major) beavers aloft, (F major)
and give (C major) three ringing cheer (A minor) s,
For John Kelly, (G major) the boy from Calan. (C major)
When the Scotties and (F major) Flames
and Old (C major) Wexford is (A minor) won
And the (G major) Barrow tomorrow we will cross (C major)
On the hill or the (F major) town
we have planted (C major) a (A minor) gun
That will (G major) batter the gateway to (C major) Ross
All the (F major) Fordmen and Bargymen
will (C major) march o 'er the heath
With (F major) brave Harvey to lead in the (G major) van
But the (C major) foremost (F major) of all
in the grim gap (C major) of (A minor) death
Will be (G major) Kelly, the boy from Cullan (C major)
But the gold sun (F major) of freedom
grew darkened (A minor) at Ross
An (C major) d it set by (G major) the Slaney's red (C major) wave
And poor Wexford, stripped naked,
(F major) hung high on a cross
(A minor) With (G major) her heart pierced by
traitors and slaves. (C major)
Glorio, (F major) glorio to her
(C major) brave sons who died
For (F major) the cause of long down trodden (G major) man.
Glor (C major) io to (F major) Mount Leinster's
own (C major) darling and pride,
(A minor) Dauntless (G major) Kelly, the boy from Cul (C major) lan!
Kelly
