What's[C] the news what's the[Am] news Oh me[C] bold Shelma[F]lier

With your[C] long barrelled[G7] gun from the[C] sea

Say what wind from the[Am] south brings his[C] messenger[F] here

With a[C] hymm of the[G7] dawn for the[C] free

''Goodly[F] news ''goodly news do I[C] bring youth of forth

Goodly[F] news shall you hear bargy[G7] man

For the[C] boys march at[Am] morn from the[C] south to the[F] north

Led by[C] Kelly the[G7] boy from[C] Killane

Tell me who is that giant with the gold curly hair

He who rides at the head of the band

Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare

And he lookes like a king in command

''Ah me boys that's the pride of the bold Shelmaliers

Among our greatest of heroes a man

Fling your beavers aloft and give three ringing cheers

For John Kelly the boy from Killane

Enniscorthy's in flames and old wexford is won

And the Barrow tomorrow we will cross

On a hill ore that town we have planted a gun

That will batter the gateway at Ross

All the forth men and bargy men march o'er the heath

With brave Harvey to lead on the van

But the formost of all in that grim gap of death

Will be Kell the boy from Killane

But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross

And is set by the Slaney's red waves

And poor Wexford stripped naked hung high on a cross

And her heart pierced by traitors and slaves

'Glory Oh 'Glory Oh to her brave sons who died

For the cause of long downtrodden land

Glory oh to mount Leinster's own darling and pride dauntless Kelly the boy from Killane
