Down By The Glenside (The Bold Fenian Men)
Em Bm Em Bm
"Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
Em Bm Em Bm
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
Em C A7 D7
I listened awhile to the song she was singing
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men
Em
Bm Em Bm
'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
Em Bm Em Bm
On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming
Em C A7 D7
I see them again, sure, in all my daydreaming
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.
Em Bm Em Bm
Some died on the glenside, some died near a stranger
Em Bm Em Bm
And wise men have told us that their cause was a failure
Em C A7 D7
They fought for old Ireland and they never feared danger
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.
Em Bm Em Bm
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
Em Bm Em Bm
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
Em C A7 D7
We may have brave men, but we'll never have better
Em Bm B7 C D7 Em
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fe - nian men.

Above ^ Try the samples and hear some sea shanties.
There are Irish songs and more. If you buy some downloads you will help to support an old musician. What a wonderful idea!
