The Fightin' 69th
Wolfe Tones

The Fighting 69th

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 have a leader to the fold,

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 a hearty cheer,

me boys,

It was greeted with a smile

Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise,

We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth

And when the war is said and done,

May heaven spare our lives

For its only then 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 a hearty cheer,

me boys,

It was greeted with a smile

Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise,

We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth

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 sylvan 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 honour 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 a hearty cheer,

me boys,

It was greeted with a smile

Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise,

We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
