My name is Tim McDonald, I'm from the Wexford of Isle, |
| [00:20.248] |
I was born among old Erin's bogs when I was but a child. |
| [00:24.206] |
My father fought in " 'Ninety-eight," for liberty so dear; |
| [00:28.157] |
He fell upon old Vinegar Hill, like an Irish volunteer. |
| [00:32.122] |
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere |
| [00:36.140] |
We'll fight and fall beneath its folds, like Irish volunteers! |
| [00:40.149] |
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere |
| [00:44.210] |
We'll fight and fall beneath its folds, like Irish volunteers! |
| [00:48.312] |
When I was driven form my home by an oppressor's hand, |
| [00:52.191] |
I cut my sticks and greased my brogues, and came o'er to this land. |
| [00:56.201] |
I found a home an many friends, and some that I love dear; |
| [01:00.167] |
I'll stick to them like bricks and an Irish volunteer. |
| [01:04.220] |
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere |
| [01:08.166] |
We'll fight and fall beneath its folds, like Irish volunteers! |
| [01:12.137] |
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere |
| [01:16.144] |
We'll fight and fall beneath its folds, like Irish volunteers! |
| [01:36.193] |
Now when the traitors in the south commenced a warlike raid, |
| [01:40.167] |
I quickly then laid down my hod, to the devil went my spade! |
| [01:44.137] |
To a recruiting-office then I went, that happened to be near, |
| [01:48.150] |
And joined the good old "Sixty-ninth," like and Irish volunteer. |
| [01:52.161] |
Then fill the ranks and march away!--no traitors do we fear; |
| [01:56.186] |
We'll drive them all to blazes, says the Irish volunteer. |
| [02:00.146] |
Then fill the ranks and march away!--no traitors do we fear; |
| [02:04.068] |
We'll drive them all to blazes, says the Irish volunteer |
| [02:08.264] |
When the Prince of Wales came over here, and made a hubbaboo, |
| [02:12.095] |
Oh, everybody turned out, you know, in gold and tinsel too; |
| [02:16.111] |
But then the good old Sixty-ninth didn't like these lords or peers |
| [02:20.076] |
They wouldn't give a damn for kings, the Irish volunteers! |
| [02:24.122] |
We love the land of Liberty, its laws we will revere, |
| [02:27.992] |
"But the divil take nobility!" says the Irish volunteer! |
| [02:32.041] |
We love the land of Liberty, its laws we will revere, |
| [02:35.991] |
"But the divil take nobility!" says the Irish volunteer! |
| [02:56.003] |
Now if the traitors in the South should ever cross our roads, |
| [03:00.146] |
We'll drive them to brazes, as Saint Patrick did the toads; |
| [03:04.164] |
We'll give them all short nooses that come just below the ears, |
| [03:08.054] |
Made strong and good from Irish hemp by Irish volunteers. |
| [03:12.257] |
Then here's to brave McClellan whom the arny now reveres |
| [03:16.104] |
He'll lead us on to victory, the Irish volunteers. |
| [03:20.106] |
Then here's to brave McClellan, whom the army now reveres |
| [03:24.010] |
He'll lead us on to victory, the Irish volunteers. |
| [03:28.054] |
Now fill your glasses up, my boys, a toast come drink with me, |
| [03:32.103] |
May Erin's Harp and the Starry Flag united ever be; |
| [03:36.056] |
May traitors quake, and rebels shake, and tremble in their fears, |
| [03:40.013] |
When next they meet the Yankee boys and Irish volunteers! |
| [03:44.063] |
God bless the name of Washington! that name this land reveres; |
| [03:48.149] |
Success to Meagher and Nugent, and their Irish volunteers! |
| [03:52.063] |
God bless the name of Washington! that name this land reveres; |
| [03:55.921] |
Success to Meagher and Nugent, and their Irish volunteers! |
