It was down in the town of old Bantry Where most of the fighting was done It was there that a young Irish soldier Was shot by a Black-and-Tan gun
As he raised himslef up to his elbow As the blood from his wounds ran red He turned to his comrades beside him And these are the words he said:
"Won't you bury me out on the mountains So that I can see where the battle was won?" So they buried him out on the mountains 'Neath a cross that stood facing the sun
They wrote: "Here lies a true Irish soldier Who was shot by a Black-and-Tan gun" And now we are back in old Dublin, our victory over and won We think of our comrades we buried under God's rising sun
