lirik lagu derek warfield - america's irish brigade
[verse 1]
i’ll sing of a soldier both gallant and brave
who fought like a hero the union to save
if you listen to me, fiddy, you’ll know what i mean
of the belle 69th from the isle of the green
when jefferson davis he sounded alarms
the sons of columbia rushed to the arms
and our n0ble militia to washington sped
and the brave michael corcoran marched up and said
[chorus]
oh then let me be living or dying
it’s a sigh for the old sod i’m crying
but the tyrant i’ll still be defying
in america’s irish brigade!
if the boys of old ireland would name it
our freedom we soon would regain it
and meself would go in with me bayonet
in america’s irish brigade!
[verse 2]
a soldier i am and i’m wearing the green
with the boys of the army a~fighting i’ve been
with me knapsack and gun and wherever i be
sure the union i fight for ’til ireland is free
in the seven days fight i stood by me post
and each pop of my gun made some rebel a ghost
and whenever the word came to charge, be me soul
i made some rebel laggard a bayonet hole
[chorus]
oh then let me be living or dying
it’s a sigh for the old sod i’m crying
but the tyrant i’ll still be defying
in america’s irish brigade!
if the boys of old ireland would name it
our freedom we soon would regain it
and meself would go in with me bayonet
in america’s irish brigade!
[verse 3]
now old stonewall came down like a thousand of brick
and meself and the boys drove him back double~quick
and we thought of bull run and our bosoms were full
but we wished were running on old johnny bull
sure there’s hope for old ireland when irishmen learn
how to handle a gun or a bayonet turn
and be this and be that, if we once get the chance
there’ll be rifles in ireland that don’t come from france
[chorus]
oh then let me be living or dying
it’s a sigh for the old sod i’m crying
but the tyrant i’ll still be defying
in america’s irish brigade!
if the boys of old ireland would name it
our freedom we soon would regain it
and meself would go in with me bayonet
in america’s irish brigade!
[verse 4]
you know how we fought on the terrible day
when the rebel last batteries opened the fray
in the midst of the battle was corcoran seen
and he n0bly stood by his banner of green
but now a bright sunshine has followed the rain
and back to new york this’ll happen again
at the head of his regiment then you can see him
and he’ll die for the stars and the banner of green
[chorus]
oh then let me be living or dying
it’s a sigh for the old sod i’m crying
but the tyrant i’ll still be defying
in america’s irish brigade!
if the boys of old ireland would name it
our freedom we soon would regain it
and meself would go in with me bayonet
in america’s irish brigade!
