Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

You may sing or speak about Easter Week or the heroes of Ninety-Eight
\nThose Fenian men who roamed the glen for victory or defeat
\nTheir names on history’s page are told, their memory will endure –
\nNot a song was sung of our darling sons in the valley of Knockanure<\/p>\n

There was Walsh and Lyons and the Dalton boy, they were young and in their prime
\nThey rambled to a lonely spot where the Black and Tans did hide
\nThe Republic bold they did uphold though outlawed on the moor
\nAnd side by side, they fought and died in the valley of Knockanure<\/p>\n

It was on a neighbouring hillside we listened in hushed dismay
\nIn every house, in every town, a young girl knelt to pray
\nThey’re closing in around them now, with rifle fire so sure
\nAnd Lyons is dead and young Dalton’s down in the valley of Knockanure<\/p>\n

But ere the guns could seal his fate, young Walsh had broken through
\nWith a prayer to God, he spun the sod as against the hill he flew
\nAnd the bullets cut his flesh in two, still he cried with voice so sure
\n“Oh, revenge I’ll get for my comrades’ deaths in the valley of Knockanure.”<\/p>\n

The summer sun is sinking now behind the field and lea
\nThe pale moonlight is shining bright far off beyond Tralee
\nThe dismal stars and the clouds afar are darkening o’er the moor
\nAnd the banshee cried when young Dalton died, in the valley of Knockanure<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
