The Fighting 69th Dropkick Murphys

Come all you gallant heroes
And along with me combined
I'll sing a song, it won't take long
Of the fighting sixty ninth
They're a band of men brave, stout and bold
From ireland they came
And they have a leader to the fold
And cocoran 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
They marched right down broadway, me boys
Until they reached the shore
And from there they went to washington
And straight unto the war

Chorus: so we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys
It was greeted with a smile
Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise
We're the fighting sixty ninth

And when the war is said and done
May heaven spare our lives
For its only then we can return
To our loved ones and our wives
We'll take them in our arms, me boys
For a long night and a day
And we'll hope that war will come no more
To sweet amerikay
