Gallant John Joe - Ian Corrigan

In the month of November

On a cold stormy day

I left my old home and

To town made my way

I met with a young man

On the road I did go

And he told me the news

Of the death of John Joe

John Joe O'Reilly

Has left us behind

He was called by the Lord

To his faithful and kind

He brought him to Heaven

That proud land to show

A true son of Breffni

Is the gallant John Joe

Brave clann O'Reilly

Proud is your name

You've reared many sons

Of great honour and fame

But not even the princes of long

Long ago

Could compare with our sportsman

The Gallant John Joe

His record's a proud one

Without blemish or stain

From he played his first

Football with famed Cornafean

Till he's laid in his cold grave

Where the wild flowers grow

A true son of Breffni

Is the gallant John Joe

He led Cavan to victory

On that memorable day

In the final against Kerry

In New York far away

The next year in Croke Park

When our boys beat Mayo

Once again they were led

By the gallant John Joe

In each corner of Breifne

There's sorrow and pain

Such a true-hearted sportsman

We'll ne'er see again

New players may come

And old players may go

But we'll ne'er have another

Like the gallant John Joe

New players may come

And old players may go

But we'll ne'er have another

Like the gallant John Joe
