What's the news? What's the news? O my bold Shelmalier,
With your long-barrelled guns, from the sea?
Say, what wind from the south brings the messenger here
With a hymn of the dawn for the free?

"Goodly news, goodly news, do I bring, youth of Forth,
Goodly news shall you hear, Bargy man!
For the boys march at dawn from the south to the north
Led by Kelly, the boy from Killanne!"

Tell me who is the giant with the gold curling hair,
He who rides at the head of your band?
Seven feet is his height, with some inches to spare
And he looks like a king in command!

"Oh, me boys, that's the pride of the bold Shelmaliers,
"Mongst our greatest of heroes, a man!
Fling your beavers aloft and give three ringing cheers,
For John Kelly, the boy from Killanne!"

Enniscorthy's in flames, and old Wexford is won,
And the Barrow tomorrow we will cross.
On a hill o'er the town we have planted a gun
That will batter the gateways to Ross!

All the Forth men and Bargy men will march o'er the heath
With brave Harvey to lead in the van;
But the foremost of all in that grim gap of death
Will be Kelly, the boy from Killanne!

But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross
And it set by the Slaney's red waves;
And poor Wexford, stript naked, hung high on a cross
With her heart pierced by traitors and slaves!

Glory O! Glory O! to her brave sons who died
For the cause of long-down-trodden man!
Glory O! to mount Leinster's own darling and pride:
Dauntless Kelly, the boy from Killanne!
