Irish Soldier Laddie |
| Twas a morning in July |
| I was walking to Tipperary |
| When I heard a battle cry |
| From the mountains over head |
| As I looked up in the sky |
| I saw an Irish soldier laddie |
| He looked at me right fearlessly and said |
| Will ye stand in the band like a true Irish man |
| And go and fight the forces of the crown? |
| Will ye march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field? |
| For tonight we go to free old Wexford town! |
| Said I to that soldier boy |
| «Won't you take me to your captain |
| T’would be my pride and joy |
| For to march with you today |
| My young brother fell in Cork |
| And my son at Innes Carthay!» |
| Unto the noble captain I did say |
| As we marched back from the field |
| In the shadow of the evening |
| With our banners flying low |
| To the memory of our dead |
| We returned unto our homes |
| But without my soldier laddie |
| Yet I never will forget those words he said |
