Dropkick Murphys - "The Fighting 69th" (Full Album Stream)

[@Miggo9000]

Come all you gallant heroes 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 that 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 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 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 sylvan shore But the country now it is calling us And we must hasten fore So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys And to ireland's lovely shore And here's to murphy and devine Of honour and renown Who did escort our heroes Unto the battle ground And said unto our colonel We must fight hand to hand Until we plant the stars and stripes Way down in dixieland 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 x2

Great tune from one of the World's greatest Celtic inspired musical bands singing in praise of perhaps the finest & fiercest fighting unit that ever took to the field of battle during the Civil War ☘️☘️☘️.
