What's  the news what's the news  Oh me bold  Shelmalier
 With your long  barrelled gun  from the sea
Say  what wind from the south  brings his messinger here
 With a hymm  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 morn  from the south  to the north
 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
 But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross
 And is set by the Slaney's red waves
 And poor Wexford stripped naked hung high on a cross
 And her heart pierced by traitors and slaves
 'Glory Oh 'Glory Oh to her brave sons who died
 For the cause of long downtrodden land
 Glory oh to mount Leinster's own darling and pride dauntless Kelly the boy from Killane
 If its anyway wrong please help me out, thanks.
 Enjoy !
