about

This version of Slieve Gallion Braes was given to me by An Goilin singer Jerry O’Reilly.

lyrics

01
As I went a walking one morning in May
To view yon green valleys and meadows so gay
I was thinking on the flowers a-doomed to decay
That bloom all round ye bonnie bonnie Slieve Gallion Braes

02
Oh me name is James MacGarvey and I’ll have you understand
I come from Derryganard and I own a farm of land
But those rents they are getting higher and I can no longer pay
So farewell unto ye bonny bonny Slieve Gallion Braes

03
Well it’s oft in the morning with my dog and gun
I ramble the valley for sport and for fun
But those days they are now over and I am far away
So farewell unto ye bonnie bonnie Slieve Gallion Braes

04
It’s oft in the evening when the sun is in the west
I walk hand-in-hand with the girl I love the best
But those days of youth they have vanished and now I’m far away
So farewell unto ye bonnie bonnie Slieve Gallion Braes

05
Well it’s not for the want of employment abroad
That causes us exiles to ramble from our home
But those terrorising landlords they will not let me stay
So farewell unto ye bonnie bonnie Slieve Gallion Braes

06
Farewell to old Ireland that land so green
And to the town of Lissan and the cross of Ballinascreen
May God’s blessing shine upon you when I am far away
And farewell unto ye bonnie bonnie Slieve Gallion Braes
