March Index

Fenian (Irish Republican Brotherhood) Uprising 3/5/1887 {Or maybe 1867}

'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.

[by Peadar Kearney, and when Margaret Barry sings it, you get the feeling she meant it.]
