lirik lagu seth staton watkins – the irish volunteers
[verse]
my name is tim mcdonald, i’m a native of the isle
i was born among ol’ erin’s bogs, and left when but a child
me father fought in ’98 for liberty so dear
and fell upon ol’ vinegar hill as an irish volunteer
[chorus]
so raise the harp of erin boys, the flag we all revere
we’ll fight and fall beneath its folds like irish volunteers
so raise the harp of erin boys, the flag we all revere
we’ll fight and fall beneath its folds like irish volunteers
[verse]
when i was driven from my home by an oppressor’s hand
i cut me sticks and greased me brogues, and came o’er to this land
i found a home an’ many friends, and some that i loved dear
by jabbers, i’ll stick to them like bricks as an irish volunteer
[chorus]
so fill your glasses up, me boys, and drink a hearty cheer
to the land of our adoption and the irish volunteers
so fill your glasses up, me boys, and drink a hearty cheer
to the land of our adoption and the irish volunteers
[verse]
now when the traitors in the south commenced a warlike raid
i quickly then laid down my hoe, to the devil went me spade
to recruitin’ office, then i went, that happened to be near
and joined the good ole’ 69th as an irish volunteer
[chorus]
“so fill the ranks and march away, no traitors do we fear
we’ll drive them all to blazes” says the irish volunteer
“so fill the ranks and march away, no traitors do we fear
we’ll drive them all to blazes” says the irish volunteer
[verse]
when the prince of wales came over here and made a hubbaboo
and everyone turned out, ya know, in gold and tinsel, too
but then the the good ole’ 69th didn’t like these lords or peers
they wouldn’t give a d~mn for kings as the irish volunteers
[chorus]
“we love the land of liberty, its laws we will revere
but the devil take n0bility” says the irish volunteer
“we love the land of liberty, its laws we will revere
but the devil take n0bility” says the irish volunteer
[verse]
now if the traitors in the south should ever cross our roads
we’ll drive them to the devil… as st. patrick did the toads
we’ll give them all short nooses that come just below the ears
made good and strong from irish hemp by the irish volunteers
[chorus]
so here’s to brave mclellan, who the army now reveres
he’ll lead us on to victory, the irish volunteers
so here’s to brave mclellan, who the army now reveres
he’ll lead us on to victory, the irish volunteers
[verse]
now fill your glasses up, me boys, a toast come drink with me
may erin’s harp and the starry flag, united ever be
may traitors quake and rebels shake and tremble in their fears
when next they meet the yankee boys and the irish volunteers
[chorus]
now bless the name of washington, the name this land reveres
success to meagher and nugent and the irish volunteers
now bless the name of washington, the name this land reveres
success to meagher and nugent and the irish volunteers ~ hey!
