《Valley of Knockanure》歌词

[00:00:00] Valley of Knockanure - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan

[00:00:00] You may sing or speak about Easter Week

[00:00:04] On the heroes of ninety-eight

[00:00:08] Or the Fenian men who roamed the glen

[00:00:12] In victory or defeat

[00:00:16] Their names on history's page are told

[00:00:20] Their memory will endure

[00:00:24] Not a song was sung of our darling sons

[00:00:28] In the valley of Knockanure

[00:00:32] There was Walsh and Lyons and the Dalton boy

[00:00:36] They were young and in their prime

[00:00:40] They rambled to a lonely spot

[00:00:44] Where the Black and Tans did hide

[00:00:47] The Republic bold they did uphold

[00:00:51] Though outlawed on the moor

[00:00:55] And side by side

[00:00:57] They fought and died

[00:00:58] In the valley of Knockanure

[00:01:03] 'Twas on a neighbouring hillside

[00:01:06] We listened with hushed dismay

[00:01:10] In every house

[00:01:12] In every town

[00:01:14] The mating knelt to pray

[00:01:18] They're closing in around them now

[00:01:21] With rifle fire so sure

[00:01:25] And Lyons is dead and Dalton's down

[00:01:29] In the valley of Knockanure

[00:01:33] But ere the guns can seal his fate

[00:01:36] Can vail and broken through

[00:01:40] With a prayer to God

[00:01:42] He spun the sod as against the hill he flew

[00:01:48] But the bullets they told his flesh in two

[00:01:51] He cried with voice so sure

[00:01:55] Revenge I'll get for my comrades' deaths

[00:01:58] In the valley of Knockanure

[00:02:02] Oh the summer sun is sinking

[00:02:06] Now behind the field and lea

[00:02:10] The pale pale moonlight is rising

[00:02:13] Far around beyond Tralee

[00:02:18] The dismal stars and clouds afar

[00:02:21] Are darkening over the moor

[00:02:25] And the banshee cried

[00:02:27] When I hear those died

[00:02:28] In the valley of Knockanure
