Testo The Fighting 69th - Dropkick Murphys
Testo della canzone The Fighting 69th (Dropkick Murphys), tratta dall'album The Gang's All Here
Come all ye gallant heroes
Along with me combine
I'll sing a song, it won't take long
Of the Fighting 69
And then the barque and men braced out
They hauled from Ireland they came
And they had a leader pure of heart
Because great was his name
It was in the month of April
When the boys they sailed away
And they made a sight so glorious
As they marched along Broadway
And they marched right down Broadway, me boys
Until they reached the shore
And from there they went to Washington
And straight on to the war
So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys that fear no noise
We're the Fighting 69
And when the war is said and done
May heaven spare our lives
For it's only then that we can return
To our loved ones and our wives
And we'll take them in our arms, me boys
For the long night and the day
And we hope that war will come no more
To sweet America
So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys that fear no noise
We're the Fighting 69
So farewell unto you, dear New York
Will I e'er see you once more?
For it fills my heart with sorrow
To leave your sovereign shores
But the currency note is calling us
And we must pay them forth
So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys
And to Ireland's lovely shores
And here's to Murphy and Devine
Of former and renown
Who did escort our heroes
Unto the battleground
A slave unto a commoner
We marched for home to home
Until we plant the stars and stripes
Way down in Dixieland
So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys that fear no noise
We're the Fighting 69
So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys that fear no noise
