letra de the departure of the 69th volunteers - david kincaid

Loading...

[instrumental]

[intro]
the gallant sixty-ninth, once more, goes to the battlefield, to leave the enemy in gore and make jeff davis yield

[verse]
it goes a volunteer regiment, composed of the same men
led on by colonel nugent, instead of corcoran

[verse]
we are sorry that poor corcoran, in rebel hands must lie
and that he can’t command those men, as he did in july

[verse]
but we hope he shall soon return, to his friends and fair wife
and that we’ll have no cause to mourn, the loss of his dear life

[instrumental]

[verse]
we wish those brave sons of ireland success where e’er they be!
to us they’ve given a strong hand, by land as well as sea

[verse]
their valor, it has oft been shown, on foreign lands afar; we have seen it here, at bull-run: and there, at trafalgar
[verse]
then, let us all cheer up again, and hope soon to have peace!
while with us we have old erin, we’ll gain it with much ease

[verse]
farewell! farewell! brave sixty-ninth! till you return to our shores!
your departure does us remind, of poor ireland in yore!
your departure does us remind, of poor ireland in yore!

[instrumental]
