No fenians anymore only black immigrants

This was the entrance song in my father and brother's funeral.

The greatest gift God gave to the Irish...is to be born there to be Irish to be proud to be warm gentle Fearless when that is called To be the Son She is our Mother For her all deeds . Must be done Glorio Glorio To the Bold Fenian Men

We'll never know better!

my family were Fenians

what a voice

God bless the irish!

A great film. My favourite with JW after The Quiet Man. As an Irishman from Ireland, I must say though that this is not a version of Bold, Fenian Men I've ever heard before. I learned a completely different traditional version in my youth.

Pretty sure this song was called Down By The Glen Side and Bold Fenian Men was not a ballad. More a battle anthem.

as a mancunian irish born in the same cityasthe 3 mancheser marters beautiful song fenianmeans warrior arentwe all ancestors of celtic warriors tal3281

Fantastic song and a rightly dedicated to the Bold Fenian men . There is however a sad side to the service of many Irish and other Europeans who served with the US army during the Indian wars. The massacre of so many Indians must have left those who inflicted it with much regret in later life.

Beautiful voice and he sings it at just the right tempo. One of best versions out there of this moving song.

Love it

The bold fenien men were called fenien bastards by the Brits until we kicked the pigs 🐖 out

Das Lied wurde zwar erst 1916 von Peadar Kearney geschrieben (siehe Wikipedia)...Aber geschichtslose Amerikaner singen es schon 1865🤣🤣🤣

Sang this loud and proud in barlinnie 😢

He could rival the best Irish tenors. And SO handsome!

The best movie and best song ever thank you Ford

What movie is this?

Just sublime beauty. The nicest bit of singing I have ever heard and the movie Rio Grande is superb

This is a really well done version of a great Irish patriot song. Ken Curtis sung it beautifully. Technically the song itself though would not be written for a another 37 years after the movie's timeline.

Sometime a pleasant suprise arives - - 'Unexpectly' - - Thanks Ken C. - - Rio Grande - - and all who were part of.

molto suggestivo :)

Rien de mieux qu'un bon western avec John Wayne ...

As an Irishman from Armagh, this hits me hard!

Love it Love it,,TIOCFAIDH AR LA.

fantastico : - Eh...già 😏

Why are soldiers in the 1870s singing a song from 1916? Proof of time travel in this film

Not the song.

My great grandfather was a 17 year old Fenian who fought for Ireland in 1867 God bless Edward Russell.

My grandmother was watching this with my grandfather who had dementia, and Parkinsons disease...and I've never forgot this song or their faces. Enjoy the ones you have

this melody and narrative is so powerful and truthful, that they play it at the annual DUP AGM above in stormont

Ciao sbi ❤💯

This is a wonderful film. Ken Curtis had a truly superb singing voice. Thanks for sharing. A very happy and peaceful Easter to all.

Hmm I have to really like this one - I'm familiar with several versions of this song - great scene - was unaware of the movie etc. My Mom's father's families and their allies (O'Dwyers with Butlers, FitzGeralds/MacCarthys, McGraths, O'Ryans, O'Kennedys all those rebels in the 1600s in and around Tipperary - they all show up in the ancestral proprietors in Tipperary and surrounding lands in 1640 and transplants into Clare after the rebellion and Cromwell's confiscations (the next generation who was too young to fight in the 1640s were referred to as somewhat "Innocent Papists" and were transplanted to Clare - later they rebelled again)! Also Maguires from further North with O'Neills, O'Donnells, MacDonnells (who were MacDonalds of the Isles), MacAulays of Lewis/likely the Gallowglass family allied to MacDonnells, and Armstrongs and Wallaces from SW Scotland as well as O'Reillys and Nugent from Coolamber). Most of these relationships still show via Mom's/Uncle O'Dwyer's DNA matching in addition to my Mother having a distant connection to French cousins descended from the Breton noble families of Northern Brittany where Irish exiles such as the O'Sullivans Beare (they were from West Cork - Mom/Uncle get a lot of O'Sullivan cousins), O'Dwyers and Maguires settled after 1650 and into the 1700s) as she has more than one of those distant cousins from there and they in fact have Macquer (Maguire) ancestry. The Maguire family when they lost their ancestral lands for the most part and went into exile (with the exception of the Tempo family - same family though anyway genetically their descendants ended up in Cavan and Longford as well - Colonel Hugh Maguire who locked Lady Cathart up in Tullywell - his will was probated at Castle Nugent in Longford (his father I believe - Bryan Maguire - married dau. of James Nugent of Coolamber so they had a connection to that place) in 1766 a mile or so from where my Maguire/Wallaces are found in parish records - these McGuires (spelled both McGuire and Maguire) served in regs of foot with Wallaces - were also in the Dragoon regs - they would have known each other and attended the same parish etc) when they were not fighting in foreign Catholic armies - they were merchants and traders and our Maguires who ended up in Ontario were merchants and custom collectors as well. That was my Grandfather O'Dwyer - his mother was the Maguire - he was an Uber Jacobite ;-)... but never spoke about it. He hated any type of racism... he and his brother fought in the American army in WW2 - Grandfather in Germany and the Pacific and his brother was a War hero - won the Bronze Star at the Siege of Anzio (as a Sgt. he went in as a Pvt. with the 45th Inf Div that invaded Sicily) and the Silver Star defending against Operation North Wind as a 2nd Lt. - he was KIA in that battle in the early part of that operation. Maternal line goes back to Northern Tipperary as well and O'Kennedy, O'Danagher and O'Meara, O'Meagher territory... also Hayes/O'Hea and O'Hanrahan from Cork/Tipperary mixed with rebels (Murrays/O'Mahoneys) who went over to New South Wales - same with the O'Dwyers in 1798... a few Maguires ended up over there as well and they are our distant cousins. Speaking to a distant cousin in East Clare our O'Dwyers (mixed with O'Corrys and O'Gormans in West Clare still speaking Irish) took part in the Clare Brigades in the Easter Rising and War of Independence - makes sense of the DNA matching we all have with Flemings from the Swan in Laois - they share our O'Dwyer ancestry and were among the group under orders from Pearse - Eamonn Fleming from the Swam commanding... to fire the first shots of the 1916 Rising or so the story goes. Also on my father's side (Lutheran Germans and Scots/Irish both early Pioneers to Colonial Pennsylvania) - my 2nd Great Grand Father George Webster Weber/Weaver's (his mother was a Ferguson from a Scottish Jacobite family) brother served the last year and about a half in the 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry in our Civil War for the Union forces - went in as a Pvt. and mustered out as a Corporal and later had joined up as a Corporal/Saddler in the US 6th Cavalry and was listed later as 1st. Sgt. of Company M in Tyler, Texas - he served through the whole "Indian" War period - well technically reconstruction into Outlaw Wars, then Red River war and Apache etc depicted in this movie - he was with the US "Fightin' Sixth" from 1865 till his death at Fort Niobrara in 1891. So you can be sure I'll be watching these movies! Thanks for the post!!!

A beautiful song here I also prefer Liam Clancy version.

God bless all who stand up against tyranny and bullying.

Glory, Oh, to our heroic patriot dead. Ireland isn’t a geographical expression for an island off the coast of Europe. Ireland is the living soul of its people. Every generation shows its courage and its commitment and its will to Victory. Beidh an lá linn 🇮🇪

Beautiful voice.

Look at the poignant reactions of all the officers, especially the general, and Maureen O'Hara. Directer John Ford knew what he was doing.

Great song, but it makes little historical sense within the context of the film. The song is about the "Bold Fenian Men" (volunteers of the Irish Republican Brotherhood), nationalist volunteers who fought against the British occupation of Ireland. It was composed by Peadar Kearney, an Irish Republican, shortly after the failed 'Easter Rising' in 1916. The problem is, the movie is set in 1879 -- 38 years before the song was written! It's possible that director John Ford thought that the song applied to the various Fenian raids that were staged out of the United States into Canada in 1866, 1870, and 1871. During these raids perhaps a thousand Irish-Catholic emigres living in the United States (many of them Union Army veterans of the American Civil War) attempted to "invade" Canada (which was then still part of the British Empire) with the rather absurd notion that they'd somehow be able to occupy the country and "hold Canada hostage" in order to force Britain to withdraw from Ireland. None of the raids were even remotely successful, with the largest effort being defeated at the Battle of Trout River (fought near Huntingdon, Quebec) when perhaps 500 British regulars, supported by Canadian militia, routed the disorganized and poorly led (and mostly drunken) Fenian force after a brief engagement. If it's these "Fenian" raids that Ford meant the soldiers singing the song in the film to be recalling, he was stretching the truth a great deal. The entire enterprise of the Fenian raids against Canada was viewed by both the Irish emigre population in the US, and the Irish people back at home, as being an ill-considered an largely embarrassing affair. It's rather doubtful that any soldiers in the US Army serving in the southwest would have even heard of the raids, let along be wanting to memorialize it in song.

A great song and a great singer. Ken Curtis was marvelous. But I wonder how many here know that the Fenians attempted to invade Canada from points in the US during the late 1860s and early 1870s?

Yer boy's some chanter. This is lovely :-)

God bless Ireland

One of the greatest songs ever !!!!!

Does anyone know where I can get the full song? His voice is awesome .

Ireland's influence in the New World.
