Corcoran led the 69th on that eventful day I wish the Prince of Wales were there to see him in the fray His charge upon the batteries was a most glorious scene With gallant New York firemen and the boys that wear the green In the hottest of the fire there rode along the line A captain of the Zouave band, crying "Now, boys, is your time" Ah, who so boldy rides with the bold and dauntless men ?Tis Thomas Francis Meagher of Erin?s isle of green The colors of the 69th I say it without shame Were taken in the struggle to swell the victor?s fame But Farnham?s dashing Zouaves that run with the machine Retook them in a moment with the boys that wore the green Being overpowered by numbers our troops were forced to flee The Southern black horse cavalry on them charged furiously But in that hour of peril the flying mass to screen Stood the gallant New York firemen with the boys that wore the green Oh, the boys of the 69th they are a gallant band Bolder never drew a sword for their adopted land Amongst the fallen heroes a braver had not been Than you, lamented Haggerty of Erin?s isle of green Farewell, my gallant countrymen who fell that fatal day. Farewell, ye noble firemen now mouldering in the clay While blooms the leafy shamrock whilst runs the old machine Your deeds will live bold Red Shirts and boys that wore the green Related Lyrics Random lyrics: THE SPANISH LADY, THE SPRINGHILL MINE DESASTER, THE TOWN I LOVED SO WELL, THE WATER IS WIDE A SHIP, TRAMPS AND HAWKERS, WHISKEY ON A SUNDAY, WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, WILD ROVER, YE JACOBITES BY NAME, Bayangkanlah, Begitu Indah, Beri Aku Arti, Hitam, Jawaban Hati, Kasih Tak Sampai, Kemana Angin Berhembus, Mahadewi, Seandainya Aku Bisa Memilih, Semua Tak Sama, Seperti Kekasihku, Sesuata Yang Indah, Sesuatu Yang Indah, Sobat, adios ayer, Aika Mittaa Ystaevyyttae, Ei Mee Pois, En Kaipaa Sua, Yoeperhonen, La Jasette, 11 Y 6, Al Lado Del Camino, Brillante Sobre El Mic, Cable A Tierra, Cadaver Exquisito, CadVer Exquisito, Circo Beat, Dar Es Dar, Del 63, Dos En La Ciudad, El Amor Despues Del Amor, El Chico De La Tapa, El Diablo De Tu CorazN, El Diablo De Tu Coraz?N, Fue Amor, Giros, Llueve Sobre Mojado, Mariposa Technicolor, Polaroid De Locura Ordinaria, Tres Agujas, Absent Minded, Other Paddy Schmidt song Lyrics ARAGON MILL Lyrics ARE YE SLEEPING MAGGIE Lyrics BACK HOME IN DERRY Lyrics MADAM IM A DARLING Lyrics MAIRIS WEDDING Lyrics MOLLY MALONE Lyrics MONTO Lyrics MURSHIN DURKIN Lyrics MY BELFAST Lyrics NANCY WHISKEY Lyrics NOW IM EASY Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Padi Lyrics Padilla Jose Lyrics Paeivi Lepistoe Lyrics Paent Kevin Lyrics Paez Fito Lyrics Fito Paez Lyrics PAGAN LORN Lyrics Pagano Lindsay Lyrics Page Lyrics Page and Plant Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
