    Good old Irish rebel song. Was actually written in 1916 during the Easter Rising but John Ford (son of Irish immigrants) liked it enough to use it in a movie set much earlier during the Indian Wars...

    I think my father was afraid to ever take me to another movie ever after we saw this at the drive in. I joined the Fenians that night and never shut up about them ever again. God bless Dad, and Glory I to the bold Fenian men!

      I dont know exactly what the Fennians believe politically, I've heard they're socialist or marxists which is one of the dumbest forms of government, but I like the idea of a United Ireland Free of the Redcoats, honestly I think it'd be cooler and work better with a High King again, mostly cause it wouldn't be communist and just think of that title, it just sounds cool. Doesn't have to work the same as it did originally, but really it's not my business because I'm American, part of my family is Celtic but our last name comes from Wales so Idk if we were ever from Ireland.

      ​@ju87stukadivebomber87 They weren't really Marxist. You could maybe say left wing but Marxist would be a stretch. The fenians wanted Ireland to become a Republic by leaving the United Kingdom. Large numbers of Fenians were exiled from Ireland by the British and quite a lot of them ended up in America and in the US Army

      @@ju87stukadivebomber87 The Fenians, AKA the Irish Republican Brotherhood were an Irish independence movement between 1858 and 1923. They were disbanded when their agenda was substantially accomplished with Irish independence in 1921. [Ireland between 1921 to 1998 is for another day.]
      The Fenian republican agenda was based on the achievements of the American Revolution and its system of government based on the American Constitution, together with those of the French Revolution.
      The Fenians supported a successful political campaign for land reform in 19th century Ireland - land redistribution that created widespread small farmer ownership. In other words, the Fenians helped create a new class of "kulaks" in Ireland, the complete opposite of Marxism as implemented by Stalin and starvation in the Soviet Union.

    'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
    A-plucking young nettles, she ne’er saw me coming
    I listened a while to the song she was humming
    Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
    'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
    On strong manly forms, on eyes with hope gleaming
    I see them again, now, in all my dreaming
    Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.
    [When I was a young girl, their marching and drilling
    Awoke in the glenside sounds awesome and thrilling
    They loved dear old Ireland, to die they were willing
    Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.
    Some died by the glenside, some died near a stranger
    And wise men have told us their cause was a failure
    But they stood by old Ireland and never feared danger
    Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men]
    I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
    Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
    We may have great men, but we'll never have better
    Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

    MUSIC BY VICTOR YOUNG
    "Down by the Glenside" (The Bold Fenian Men)
    Essa é uma cena com John Wayne; Maurren O'Hara, J. Carrol Naish, Victor McLaglen, Peter Ortiz, Steve Pendleton e Alberto Morin. É uma das mais belas do filme "Rio Bravo" (Rio Grande / 1950) - aqui colorizado - do diretor John Ford. Dizem os entendidos que aquele é o mais musical entre os 150 filmes que o velho dirigiu. Vemos aí, após um jantar de oficias da Cavalaria Americana, uma serenata do "The Regimental Singers". Na verdade, trata-se do famoso grupo "Sons of the Pioneers" (com Stan Jones; Tommy Doss, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr, Lloyd Perryman e Shug Fisher), tendo como vocalista o ator Ken Curtis. Aliás, quando minha esposa faleceu, dediquei-lhe um trecho dessa canção (de Cathy Jordan, composta em 1916, refere-se ao Levante Fenian, contra o domínio britânico, que aconteceu na Irlanda em 1867. A letra evoca a memória dos lutadores pela liberdade da geração anterior) que, originalmente, diz: "God be prayed that I met her/Be life long or short/I will never forget her"... Algo como, "Agradeço a Deus por tê-la conhecido. Seja minha vida longa ou curta, nunca hei de esquecê-la".

    Forget the beauty of the song remember what its about, Sheridan loved the song as his family had been driven out of Ireland, listen to Michael mac larrimoirs recitation of Robert emmets speech from the Dock before emmet was hung drawn and quartered in Dublin 1803, and yes they castrated him hung him cut his legs arms off, but this song is about his generation, listen to his speech in which before he's executed he says he wished to obtain the same the same rights and liberties for Ireland that Washington had gained for America then you'll understand both the beauty of the song and it's meaning to Sheridan.

      Phil Sheridan Died in 1888 the song was written by Peadar Kearney, in 1916 at the time of the Rising of 1916 to evoke memories of the Fenian Rising of 1867. So he could not have loved this song! I suspect that he might well have loved it had he heard it but.....

      @@williamjackson5942 you're right but I love it genuinely thought it dated back to those days grew up with this film and assumed it was showing a fact. But if I'd paused for a moment then I couldn't have been right as the fenian movement didn't get underway until the late 1860s in anycase with the dynamite campaign in England, so yeap your absolutely right. But I still like it and the sentiment conveyed in the film, I'm s sucker for john Wayne. If he listened to anything it most likely be Napper Tandy with ref to 1798. T

      It would have been completely out of character for illiterate, back-woodsy Festus to break into song and sing like Ken Curtis. It worked in comedies like Gomer Pyle USMC (Jim Neighbors) and with Frank Fontaine's character Crazy Guggenheim on The Jackie Gleason Show, but not in a period Western drama like Gunsmoke. When Ken Curtis sang in Gunsmoke or called a square dance he did so in character. He was an actor, after all.

    My dad carried me at age of nine to see the Duke slaughter the Apache. Admission was 25 cents and a dime for hot box of pop corn. A great movie where the horses were actors.
