Led by Kelly the boy from Killane
(Its goes like that the way through)
Tell me who is that giant with the gold curly hair
He who rides at the head of the band
Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare
And he lookes like a king in command
''Ah me boys that's the pride of the bold Shelmaliers
Among our greatest of heroes a man
Fling your beavers aloft and give three ringing cheers
For John Kelly the boy from Killane
Enniscorthy's in flames and old wexford is won
And the Barrow tomorrow we will cross
On a hill ore that town we have planted a gun
That will batter the gateway at Ross
All the forth men and bargy men march o'er the heath
With brave Harvey to lead on the van
But the formost of all in that grim gap of death
Will be Kell the boy from Killane
