KILKENNY (kevin gilfoy)

Come listen lads to what I say I've been looking for you for days All through the booley hills right up to Tipperary I've come to warn you to stay away For the yoe's look night and day For lads like you all around your Kilkenny

They picked up Dan the other day They broke him down, he gave them names It's not his fault lads for they've tortured so many So you must leave for Halifax You'll change your name and na'er come back For there's no life left for you here in Kilkenny

I'd rather see you go away Than see me stand before your graves Like the lads that stood beside you down at Slaney You did the deed, you fought the fight You stood like men, you did what's right But Wexford fell so now you must leave Kilkenny

We'll live to fight another day For we will win, we'll find a way But as for you lads please now go and start your families The lives you live they must go on You're all good men so please move on And be proud just like you were here in Kilkenny And speak fondly of your pa back in Kilkenny
