Twas a morning in july
I was walking through Tipperary
When i heard a battle cry from the mountains overhead
I looked up to the sky and saw an Irish Soldier Laddie
Who looked at me right fearlessly and said (Oh what did he say?)
“Oh, will you stand in the band like a true Irish man?
And go and fight the forces of the crown?
Will you march with O’Neill through an irish battlefield?
For tonight we’re gonna free old Wexford town!”
Said I to the soldier lad
“Will you take me to your captain?
It’ll be my pride and joy for to march with you today
My young brother fell in Cork
And my son in Enniscorthy!”
Unto the noble captain i did say
“Yes I will you stand in the band like a true Irish man
And go and fight thе forces of the crown
And I will you march with O’Neill through an irish battlеfield
For tonight we’re gonna free old Wexford town!”
As we marched back to our homes
In the shadow of the evening
With our banners flying low
To the memory of the dead
We returned unto our homes
But without our soldier laddie
But I never will forget the words he said! (Oh what did he say?)
“Oh, will you stand in the band like a true Irish man?
And go and fight the forces of the crown?
Will you march with O’Neill through an irish battlefield?
For tonight we’re gonna free old Wexford town!”
“Yes I will you stand in the band like a true Irish man
And go and fight the forces of the crown
And I will you march with O’Neill through an irish battlefield
For tonight we’re gonna free old Wexford town!”
