Tune Add: Bold Fenian Men

08 Sep 99 - 01:31 AM (#112358)
Subject: Tune Add: BOLD FENIAN MEN
From: John in Brisbane

This is somewhat of an experiment as I scanned the music using SharpEye. The song is Bold Fenian Men and as far as I can tell it is not in the DT. (It is not Down By The Glenside). The lyrics start 'See who comes over the red blossomed heather, their green banners kissing the pure mountain air.' Is it already in the DT by another name? Regards, John

Subject: Lyr Add: THE BOLD FENIAN MEN
From: Big Mick

I just searched the DT and the Forums, it is not there. Here are the lyrics. I apologize for the caps but I have cut and pasted off my cue cards and don't feel like retyping.

THE BOLD FENIAN MEN

See who comes over the red blossomed heather
Their green banners kissing the pure mountain air.
Heads erect, eyes to front, stepping proudly together,
Sure freedom sits enthroned on each proud spirit there.
Down the hills twining, their blessed steel shining,
Like rivers of beauty that flow from each glen,
From mountain and valley, 'tis liberty's rally,
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men

Our prayers and our tears they have scoffed and derided,
They've shut out god's sunlight from spirit and mind.
Our foes were united and we were divided,
We met and they scattered our ranks to the wind.
But once more returning, within our veins burning,
The fires that illumined dark Aherlow Glen
We raise the old cry anew, slogan of Conn and Hugh,
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men

We've men from the Nore, the Suir and the Shannon,
Let tyrants come forth, we'll bring force against force.
Our pen is the sword and our voice is the cannon,
Rifle for rifle and horse against horse
We've made the false Saxon yield many a red battlefield,
God on our side, we will triumph again,
Pay them back woe for woe, give them back blow for blow,
Out and make way for the bold Fenian men

Side by side for the cause have our forefathers battled,
When our hills never echoed the tread of a slave.
In many a field where the leaden hail rattled,
Through the red gap of glory, they marched to the grave.
And those who inherit their name and their spirit,
Will march 'neath the banner of liberty then,
And all who love foreign law -- native or Sassanach
Must out and make way for the bold Fenian men

Subject: Lonely Banna Strand
From: Philippa

John, It's great of you to add all these tunes but not so hot putting them all in one thread. There's already a lyrics added: Banna strand thread I suggest you go there to check out those lyrics and add the appropriate tune to the thread. I haven't actually read through the Banna strand thread, just did a forum search to find out if there was one

Philippa, thanks for your suggestion - I'll do that where I believe that the lyrics ARE NOT in the DT. At Joe's direction I will post multiple messages (with individual subject names) to a single thread, where the lyrics ARE in the DT. Regards, John

Subject: Tune Add: BOSTON CITY / BOSTON BURGLAR
From: John in Brisbane

This is the tune given by Soodlum's to Boston City. My memory of The New Lost City Rambler's version of Boston Burglar is that the tune is very similar if not identical.

The lyrics posted here by Big Mick as "The Bold Fenian Men" appear in a broadside by H. De Masran, NY, with the title, "The Fenian Men." 19th c., no date, but style of broadside suggests 1860s. At American Memory.
