Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Twas a morning in July, I was walking to Tipperary
\nWhen I heard a battle cry from the mountains over head
\nAs I looked up in the sky I saw an Irish soldier laddie
\nHe looked at me right fearlessly and said:<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nWill ye stand in the band like a true Irish man
\nAnd go and fight the forces of the crown?
\nWill ye march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field?
\nFor tonight we go to free old Wexford town!<\/p>\n

Said I to that soldier boy,
\n“Won’t you take me to your captain
\nT’would be my pride and joy for to march with you today
\nMy young brother fell in Cork and my son at Innes Carthay!”
\nUnto the noble captain I did say:<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

As we marched back from the field in the shadow of the evening
\nWith our banners flying low to the memory of our dead
\nWe returned unto our homes but without my soldier laddie
\nYet I never will forget those words he said:<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
