《Gallant John Joe》歌词

[00:00:00] Gallant John Joe - Ian Corrigan/The Mainliners

[00:00:06] In the month of November

[00:00:08] On a cold stormy day

[00:00:11] I left my old home and

[00:00:13] To town made my way

[00:00:16] I met with a young man

[00:00:18] On the road I did go

[00:00:20] And he told me the news

[00:00:22] Of the death of John Joe

[00:00:27] John Joe O'Reilly

[00:00:29] Has left us behind

[00:00:31] He was called by the Lord

[00:00:33] To his faithful and kind

[00:00:36] He brought him to Heaven

[00:00:38] That proud land to show

[00:00:41] A true son of Breffni

[00:00:43] Is the gallant John Joe

[00:00:47] Brave clann O'Reilly

[00:00:50] Proud is your name

[00:00:52] You've reared many sons

[00:00:54] Of great honour and fame

[00:00:56] But not even the princes of long

[00:01:00] Long ago

[00:01:01] Could compare with our sportsman

[00:01:04] The Gallant John Joe

[00:01:07] His record's a proud one

[00:01:09] Without blemish or stain

[00:01:12] From he played his first

[00:01:13] Football with famed Cornafean

[00:01:16] Till he's laid in his cold grave

[00:01:19] Where the wild flowers grow

[00:01:21] A true son of Breffni

[00:01:24] Is the gallant John Joe

[00:01:32] He led Cavan to victory

[00:01:34] On that memorable day

[00:01:37] In the final against Kerry

[00:01:39] In New York far away

[00:01:41] The next year in Croke Park

[00:01:44] When our boys beat Mayo

[00:01:46] Once again they were led

[00:01:48] By the gallant John Joe

[00:01:52] In each corner of Breifne

[00:01:55] There's sorrow and pain

[00:01:57] Such a true-hearted sportsman

[00:01:59] We'll ne'er see again

[00:02:02] New players may come

[00:02:04] And old players may go

[00:02:06] But we'll ne'er have another

[00:02:09] Like the gallant John Joe

[00:02:12] New players may come

[00:02:15] And old players may go

[00:02:17] But we'll ne'er have another

[00:02:20] Like the gallant John Joe
