left my peaceful residence to wander far away<br \/>\nAnd as I left, those lovely hills perhaps no more to see<br \/>\nI surely thought my heart would break when leaving Glenswilly.<\/p>\n<p>Come listen awhile, my countrymen, and hear my latest news<br \/>\nAlthough my song is sorrowful, I hope you&#8217;ll me excuse<br \/>\nI left my peaceful residence some foreign land to see<br \/>\nI bid farewell to Donegal, likewise to Glenswilly.<\/p>\n<p>Brave stalwart men around me stood, each comrade fond and true<br \/>\nAnd as I clasped each well-known hand to bid my last adieu<br \/>\nI said, &#8216;My fellow countrymen, I hope you&#8217;ll soon be free<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;ll raise the green flag proudly over the hills of Glenswilly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>No more I&#8217;ll see the sycamore, or hear the blackbird sing<br \/>\nNo more to me the blithe cuckoo will welcome back the spring<br \/>\nNo more I&#8217;ll plow your fertile fields, a chuisle geal mo chro\u00ed<br \/>\nOn foreign soil I mean to toil, far far from Glenswilly.<\/p>\n<p>May peace and plenty reign supreme upon Lough Swilly&#8217;s shore<br \/>\nMay discord never enter our Irish homes no more<br \/>\nAnd may the time soon come to pass when I&#8217;ll return to thee<br \/>\nAnd live as my forefathers lived, and died in Glenswilly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2
