Sean Larkin The Irish Brigade

[Verse 1]
My name is Seán Larkin, a rebel am I
In this cold dreary castle, a prisoner I lie
At the dawn of tomorrow, with my comrades I′ll go
Oh, for death is my sentence tonight in Drumboe

[Chorus]
So farewell Ballinderry, Bellagherty too
And sweet Ballylifford, that in childhood I knew
When the seeds we have planted have blossomed and grown
Just remember Seán Larkin and lonely Drumboe

[Verse 2]
A patriot mother in Derry for me
And I learned Ireland's history on a fond father′s knee
I went with my brothеr to fight Ireland's foe
But it's little I thought I would diе at Drumboe

[Verse 3]
We fought the good fight then with fervor and fame
′Til an inglorious treaty of surrender and shame
Turned kit against kin and brought sorrow and woe
And it left me a prisoner tonight in Drumboe

[Chorus]
So farewell Ballinderry, Bellagherty too
And sweet Ballylifford, that in childhood I knew
When the seeds we have planted have blossomed and grown
Just remember Seán Larkin and lonely Drumboe
