Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Sean South 
T'was on a dreary new years day, As the shades of night came down A lorry load of vollenteers Approached a northern town There were men from Dublin and from Cork Fermanagh and Tyrone And the leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Gary Owen 
And as they marched along the street Up to the barrack door They sensed the danger they would meet The fate that lay in store They were fighting for Old Irelands cause To claim their very own And the foremost of that gallant band Was South from Gary Owen 
But the sergeant foiled their daring plan He spied them through the door And from the Sten guns and the rifles A hail of death did pour And when that awful night was passed The men lay cold as stone There was one young man from Monaghan And one from Gary Owem 
No more he'll hear the seagulls cry Or the murmuring Shannons tide For he fell beneath the northern skies, O'Hanlan at his side He's gone to meet the gallant band, A Gough Pearse and Tone A martyr for Old Ireland, Sean south from Gary Owen
