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

As I was a-walking down by the Locke Hospital
\nCold was the morning and dark was the day
\nI spied a young squaddie wrapped up in old linen
\nWrapped up in old linen as cold as the day<\/p>\n

Ch.: So play the drums slowly and play the fifes lowly
\n Sound a dead march as you carry him along
\n And over his coffin throw a bunch of white laurels
\n For he’s a young soldier cut down in his prime.<\/p>\n

Oh mother, dear mother, come sit ya down by me
\nSit ya down by me and pity my sad plight
\nFor my body is injured and sadly disordered
\nAll by a young girl my own heart’s delight<\/p>\n

Get six of me comrades to carry my coffin
\nGet six of me comrades to carry me on high
\nAnd let every one hold a bunch of white roses
\nSo no-one will notice as we pass them by<\/p>\n

And over his headstone these words they were written
\n“All ye young fellows take warning from me.
\nBeware of the flash girls that roam through the city
\nFor the girls of the city were the ruin of me.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
