[Chorus]
Farewell to Séamus Harvey, goodbye to Gerard McGlynn,
I hope you're both in heaven, for you did not die in vain,
While trying to free your country, your young lives were blown away,
But if ever I get to heaven, I will meet you there one day.

[Verse]
They saw a lot of action, and true courage they did show,
Gainst the occupation forces of the cruel British foe,
Laying mines along the border in the county of Tyrone,
And never did these comrades evеr fail to hold their own.

[Chorus]
Farewell to Séamus Harvеy, goodbye to Gerard McGlynn,
I hope you're both in heaven, for you did not die in vain,
While trying to free your country, your young lives were blown away,
But if ever I get to heaven, I will meet you there one day.

[Verse]
On that fateful night in August, in the year of '73,
They said "Farewell to loved ones.", they were never more to see,
As they moved towards their target along that border road,
Their bomb was primed and ready but too early did explode.

I'll tell you where it happened at the customs at Kilclean,
And please God, upon that spot there may a cross one day be seen,
Dedicated to those young men of the West Tyrone Command,
Who fought to raise the green flag and to free their native land.

[Chorus]
Farewell to Séamus Harvey, goodbye to Gerard McGlynn,
I hope you're both in heaven, for you did not die in vain,
While trying to free your country, your young lives were blown away,
But if ever I get to heaven, I will meet you there one day,
But if ever I get to heaven, I will meet you there one day.
