On the twenty-first of July, beneath the burning sun. |
| [00:15.168] |
McDowell met the Southern troops in battle, at Bull Run; |
| [00:21.176] |
Above the Union vanguard, was proudly dancing seen, |
| [00:27.084] |
Beside the starry banner, old Erin's flag of green. |
| [00:36.128] |
Colonel Corcoran led the Sixty-ninth on that eventful day, |
| [00:41.823] |
I wish the Prince of Wales were there to see him in the fray; |
| [00:47.803] |
His charge upon the batteries was a most glorious scene, |
| [00:53.723] |
With gallant New York firemen, and the boys that wore the green. |
| [01:02.606] |
In the hottest of the fire there rode along the line |
| [01:08.492] |
A captain of a Zouave band, crying, "Now, boys, is your time;" |
| [01:14.460] |
Ah! who is he so proudly rides, with bold and dauntless mien? |
| [01:20.382] |
'Tis Thomas Francis Meagher, of Erin's isle of green! |
| [01:32.402] |
The colors of the Sixty-ninth, I say it without shame, |
| [01:38.093] |
Were taken in the struggle to swell the victor's fame; |
| [01:44.076] |
But Farnham's dashing Zouaves, that run with the machine, |
| [01:49.986] |
Retook them in a moment, with the boys that wore the green! |
| [02:22.838] |
Being overpowered by numbers, our troops were forced to flee, |
| [02:28.624] |
The Southern black horse cavalry on them charged furiously; |
| [02:34.687] |
But in that hour of peril, the flying mass to screen, |
| [02:40.335] |
Stood the gallant New York firemen, with the boys that wore the green. |
| [02:49.377] |
Oh, the boys of the Sixty-ninth, they are a gallant band, |
| [02:55.070] |
Bolder never drew a sword for their adopted land; |
| [03:01.141] |
Amongst the fallen heroes, a braver had not been, |
| [03:06.929] |
Than you lamented Haggerty, of Erin's isle of green. |
| [03:18.980] |
Farewell, my gallant countrymen, who fell that fatal day, |
| [03:24.725] |
Farewell, ye noble firemen, now mouldering in the clay; |
| [03:30.659] |
Whilst blooms the leafy shamrock, whilst runs the old machine, |
| [03:36.479] |
Your deeds will live bold Red Shirts, and Boys that Wore the Green! |
