Highly underrated band. Great tune among many by them

[@Lieblingsfachful]

His voice...........AMAZING! He goes from an almost average New Englander to this Quasi-Irish accented and masculine voice. Brilliant.

So much awesomeness. Why aren't Dave Kincaid and the Brandos more widely known?

[@KathyAJT]

David, you are my Bruce Springsteen of the Past! Love your music and since I first saw you that fateful weekend at Beth Paige (about 5 yrs ago) with husband Dana, we've learned your songs and spend weekends just playing along on the fiddle to your recordings. Hope to catch you again. Londonderry, NH has the Tupelo Coffeehouse - A nice venue if you're looking. You're the Best!!! Kathy Jacques, formerly NH Volunteers

An amazing musician and artist! He is of the quality of Tim O'Brien and (from me) that is one of the highest compliments I can pay to Mr. Kincaid. Mr. Kincaid's vocals and playing are a delight to see and hear. Wonderful music and video. Thank you! My best, Moppet (Barbara)

part two: We come from every walk of life The poorest to the grand And side by side that fateful day We stood to bear a hand And though to those from far away Quite different we appear Yes, we're black and tan, we're yellow and white We're New York Volunteers We take in stride the trouble and strife Like New York Volunteers

[@blackbandit666]

part three: Now, some will say the world is grim And hope a distant dream Humanity a world away But if they'd only seen Our citizens emerge that day Their fellowman to cheer Well, it's a different tale they'd have to tell Of our New York Volunteers We take in stride the trouble and strife Like New York Volunteers

Wish to see them live someday.

Dave & Ernie...being a Civil War reeanctor the Irish Brigade element to this song is marvelous. Paddy O'Rourke would have been proud! I would love to see you play it in person! Ever been to Michigan? You guys are amazing!

When I was bound apprenticed in famous Lincolnshire For well I served me master for nigh and seven years Till I took up to poaching as you should quickly here For tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year (2x) As me and my companion were setting up a snare Twas then we spied the constable for him we did not care For we can wrestle and fight my boys and jump from anywhere For tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year (2x) As me and my companion were setting four or five And taking them all up again we caught a hare alive We caught a hare alive my boys and through the woods did steer For tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year (2x) We through him over my shoulder boys and then we marched home We took him to my neighbor's house and sold him for a crown We sold him for a crown my boys I cannot tell you where For tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year (2x) Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire Success to every poacher that wants to sell a hare Bad luck to every constable who will not sell his deer For tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year (2x)

here they are: (part one) We're from this native land We're every culture and every creed That are known to man And on our streets, on any day Every language will you hear Yet when tragedy strikes we band as one Like New York Volunteers We take in stride the trouble and strife Like New York Volunteers

Awesome remake. However, I am partial to the C.W. lyrics. Would love to hear you guys do that version.
