Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
lonely woods at upton 
Many homes are filled with sorrow and with sadness Many hearts are filled with anguish and with pain For old Ireland now she hangs her head in mourning For the men who fell at upton for Sien Fien 
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley Where those men who fought for freedom now are laid May they rest in piece those men who died for Ireland And fell in that Upton ambush for Sien Fien 
Some were thinking of their mothers wifes and sweethearts More were thinking of their dear old Irish homes Did they think that as they drove along the valley When they marched out from Cork Cituy to their Doom 
Chorus 
The morning cry rang out fix your bayonets And quite gallatly they fixed them for the fray Gallantly they fought and died for dear old Ireland Round the lonely woods at upton far away
