The Fighting 69th

the fighting 69th - dropkick murphys
go
come all you gallant heroes
and along with me combined
i'll sing a song
it won't take long
of the fighting sixty ninth
they're a band of men brave stout and bold
from ireland they came
and they hailed a leader to the fore
and cocoran was his name
it was in the month of april
when the boys they sailed away
and they made a sight so glorious
as they marched along broadway
they marched right down broadway me boys
until they reached the shore
and from there they went to washington
and straight unto the war
so we gave them hearty cheers me boys
which was greeted with a smile
singing here's to the boys that fear no noise
we're the fihting sixty nint
and when the war is said and done
may heaven spare our lives
for its only then that we can return
to our loved ones and our wives
we'll take them in our arms me boys
for a long night and a day
and we'll hope that war will come no more
to sweet america
so we gave them hearty cheers me boys
which was greeted with a smile
singing here's to the boys that fear no noise
we're the fihting sixty nint
so farewell unto you dear new york
will i e'er see you once more
for it fills my heart with sorrow
to leave your sovereign shore
but the country now it is calling us
and we must hasten fore
so here's to the stars and stripes me boys
and to ireland's lovely shore
and here's to murphy and devine
of honor and renown
who did escort our heroes
unto the battle ground
and said unto our colonel
we must fight hand to hand
until we plant the stars and stripes
way down in dixieland
so we gave them hearty cheers me boys
which was greeted with a smile
singing here's to the boys that fear no noise
we're the fihting sixty nint
so we gave them hearty cheers me boys
which was greeted with a smile
singing here's to the boys that fear no noise
we're the fihting sixty nint
