C G F
Forget not the boys of the heather
C Am
Who martyred their bravest and best
C F
When Ireland was broken in Wexford
C G C
And looked for revenge in the West.
Chorus:
C G F
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
C Am
Where rallied our bravest and best
C F
When Ireland was broken and bleeding;
C G C
Hurrah for the men of the West.
Verse 2:
C F
The hilltops with glory were glowing
C Am
'Twas the eve of a bright harvest day
C F
When the ship we'd been wearily waiting
C G C
Sailed into Killala's broad bay
C G F
And over the hill went the slogan
C Am
To waken in every breast
C F
The fire that has never been quenched, boys
C G C
Among the true hearts of the West
Chorus:
C G F
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
C Am
Where rallied our bravest and best
C F
When Ireland was broken and bleeding;
C G C
Hurrah for the men of the West.
Verse 3:
C F
Killala was ours ere the midnight
C Am
And high over Ballina town
C F
Our banners in triumph were waving
C G C
Before the next sun had gone down
C G F
We gathered to speed the good work, boys
C Am
The true men from near and afar;
C F
And history can tell how we routed
C G C
The redcoats through old Castlebar
Chorus:
C G F
I give you the gallant old West, boys,
C Am
Where rallied our bravest and best
C F
When Ireland was broken and bleeding;
C G C
Hurrah for the men of the West. Published:
