Glenrowan Lyrics – John Campbell Munro
Singer: John Campbell Munro
Title: Glenrowan
So, let me tell you how it all played out at Glenrowan fair
Sent the midnight runner out to bail up the train lead them to the Barrack’s square
When they stormed the place we would circle them in
And buy our freedom with their treacherous skins
Such a grand plan didn’t come to anything
I always knew it would come to this
I guess I knew it would come to this
From O’Quinn’s stories to my mother’s last kiss
I always knew it would come to this
The teacher was fast, took them right to the door at Mrs Jones’ pub
They couldn’t know it held more than just the four members of the Kelly club
Their shot relentless, driving hail
The pub like a sieve held together by nails
I took two hits and two kids fell by the window rail
I always knew it would come to this
I guess I knew it would come to this
From O’Quinn’s stories to my mother’s last kiss
I always knew it would come to this
From the middle of hell Joe Byrne just had to act larger than life
So he fronted the bar and shouted “Drinks all around” for the last time in his life
He took one just below the belt
And in a moment of fleeting silence felt
His life falling oh so gently on the sawdust where he knelt
I always knew it would come to this
I guess I knew it would come to this
From O’Quinn’s stories to my mother’s last kiss
I always knew it would come to this
I’m seven feet tall with my helmet, armour and my overcoat
Rising out of the morning mist, make their hearts leap to their throats
They took their aim to where the armour didn’t go
And brought me down and made me low
And beat me ‘til they couldn’t hurt me anymore
I always knew it would come to this
I guess I knew it would come to this
From O’Quinn’s stories to my mother’s last kiss
I always knew it would come to this
Now Dan and Steve in unmarked graves behind my mother’s home
And heard that Joe makes a pretty picture to the jailhouse door
I couldn’t believe they would treat him that way
And as for me I have to say
They took great care to keep me alive for the part I’d still to play
I always knew it would come to this
I guess I knew it would come to this
From O’Quinn’s stories to my mother’s last kiss
I always knew it would come to this
