Bold Fenian Men

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

'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
On strong manly forms and their eyes with hope gleaming
I see them again, now, in all my daydreaming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
We may have brave men, but we'll never have better
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.

Remember the dedication and love of country of the Fenians

[PanzerKrigs]

It is quite incredible how many heroes you can actually find amongst the men of WW1/2. Hail to them and their memory,

And this is a most beautiful song too.

The officer with the eyepatch in this movie is played by Colonel Peter Ortiz,USMC. Now, he was a real hero, whose true exploits in WW2 would never be believed if made into a movie. Peter Ortiz was the a real John Wayne. No offence to The Duke.
