[Verse 1]
What's the news, [D]what's
the news, O me [G]bold Shelmalier
With your [D]long barrel [A]guns
from the [D]sea?
Say, what wind from the south
brings a messenger [G]here
With this [D]hymn of the
[A]dawn for the [D]free?
Goodly [G]news,
goodly news do I [D]bring youth of Forth
Goodly [G]news shall I hear [A]Bargy man.
For the [D]boys march at morn
from the south to the [G]north
Led by [D]Kelly, the [A]boy [D]from Killane.

[Verse 2]
Tell me who is the giant [D]with the
gold curling [G]hair
[D]He who rides at the [A]head of your [D]band.
Seven feet is his height with some
inches to [G]spare
And he [D]looks like a [A]king in [D]command.
O me [G]boys that's the pride of the
[D]bold Shelmalier
'Mongst our [G]greatest
of heroes a [A]man
Fling your [D]beavers aloft and give
three ringing [G]cheers
For John [D]Kelly,
the [A]boy [D]from Killane.

[Verse 3]
[D]Enniscorthy is in flames
and old Wexford is [G]won
And [D]to morrow the [A]barrow will [D]cross
On the hill o'er the town
we have planted a [G]gun
That will [D]batter the [A]gateway to [D]Ross.
All the [G]Forth men and Bargy men will
[D]march o'er the heath
With brave [G]Harvey to lead in the [A]van
But the [D]foremost of all in the
grim gap of [G]death
Will be [D]Kelly, the [A]boy [D]from Killane.

[Verse 4]
But the gold sun of [D]freedom
grew darkened at [G]Ross
And it set [D]by [A]the Slaney's red [D]wave...
And poor Wexford stripped naked
hung high [G]on a cross
With her heart [D]pierced by
[A]traitors and [D]knaves.
Glory- [G]o, Glory- o to her
[D]brave men who died
For the [G]cause of long down-
trodden [A]man.
Glory- [D]o to Mount- Leinster's
own darling and [G]pride
Dauntless [D]Kelly, the [A]boy from Killane.
