| I went away to fight a war that small nations might be free |
| Got a soldiers guns and uniform to fight the enemy |
| I was trained to shoot my fellow before he got to me And I danced with death in the mud and wept |
| And prayed my home to see. |
| So come over to me darling girl come here me Molly dear. |
| You are as welcome as the flowers in may you’re welcome here tome. |
| No more I’ll fire the musket shot or hear the cannon roar |
| I’ve done my time, now you’ll be mine |
| I’m yours for ever more. |
| While in the trenches there I thought who starts these bloody-wars |
| And thought of these great Irishmen who died on these strangeshores |
| Then a bomb did burst to the air it trust some shrapnel fire andblood |
| I escaped it then shot back at them and lay back in the mud. |
| While I was off in foreign lands, fighting other peoples' wars |
| Some gallant men were fighting here to free their native shore |
| You shot our leaders of 16 saw our city sacked and burned |
| Then you sent us in the Black and Tans to greet our homereturn. |
| I don’t need your heroes welcome |
| I don’t want your bugle call |
| No brass band no pipes and drums, no medal badge or star |
| But give me what you promised me when first I went to war |
| That’s freedom for old Ireland and I’ll go to fight no more. |
