Amhrán (continued)
“One night as the moon illuminated”
(continued from previous page)I don't care a fig what the whole lot of them say .
if i once had you over the mountain .
4 By the time the moon had sank in the West.
And the time the morning star brightly ,
was shining.
T'was then we pursued our
journey in haste.
And got married at the altar of Hymen.

“I don't care a fig what the whole lot of them say”
I don't care a fig what the whole lot of them say .
if i once had you over the mountain .
4 By the time the moon had sank in the West.
And the time the morning star brightly ,
was shining.
T'was then we pursued our
journey in haste.
And got married at the altar of Hymen.
Kelly the boy from Killann.
Enniscorthy in flames and old
Wexford is won
And the Barrow tomorrow we
will cross
On a hill o'er the town we have
planted a gun
That will batter the gateways of
Ross.
All the Forth men and Bargy men march o'er the heath
With great Harvey to lead on
the van.
But the foremost of all in the grim gap of death. - Collector
