The Lonely Woods of Upton Many homes are filled with sorrow and with sadness, Many hearts are filled with anguish and with pain, For old Ireland now she hangs her head in mourning, For the men who died at Upton for Sinn Fein. Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley, Where those men who fought for freedom now are lain, May they rest in peace those men who died for Ireland, In the lonely woods of Upton for Sinn Fein. Some were thinking of their mothers, wives and sweethearts, Some were thinking of their dear old Irish homes, Did they think of how they drilled along the valley As they marched out from Cork city to their doom. The warning cry rang out, fix your bayonets, And thoes gallant lads they fixed them for the fray, Gallantly they fought and died for dear old Ireland, In the lonely woods of Upton for far away. Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley, Where those men who fought for freedom now are lain, May they rest in peace those men who died for Ireland, In the lonely woods of Upton for Sinn Fein.
