RG) 'Twas the night before battle and, gathered in groups, The soldiers lay close at their quarters, A-thinking, no doubt, of their loved ones at home Of mothers, wives, sweethearts and daughters. With a pipe in his mouth sat a handsome young blade, And a song he was singing so gaily, His name was Pat Murphy of Meagher's Brigade And he sang of the land of Shillelagh. Said Pat to his comrades, it looks quare to see Brothers fighting in such a strange manner; But I'll fight 'til I die, If I never get killed For America's bright starry banner. Far away in the west rode a dashing young blade And the song he was singing so gaily, 'Twas honest Pat Murphy of the Irish Brigade And the song of the splintered shillelagh. Well, morning soon broke and poor Paddy awoke He found rebels to give satisfaction And the drummer was beating the Devil's sad tune They were calling the troops into action. Far away in the west rode a dashing young blade And the song he was singing so gaily, 'Twas honest Pat Murphy of the Irish Brigade And the song of the splintered shillelagh. Then the Irish Brigade into battle was seen, Their blood for the cause shedding freely With their bayonet charges they rushed on the foe With a shout for the land of shillelagh. Far away in the west rode a dashing young blade And the song he was singing so gaily, 'Twas honest Pat Murphy of the Irish Brigade And the song of the splintered shillelagh. The day after battle, the dead lay in heaps And Paddy lay bleeding and gory, With a hole in his breast where some enemy's ball Had ended his passion for glory, No more in the camps will his letters be read Nor his voice be heard singing so gaily For he died far away from the friends that he loved And far from the land of shillelagh. @Irish @soldier @rebel filename[ SHILLELA RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: South Australia, South Street Waltz, Southrups Wassail Song, Sow Took The Measles, Spancil Hill, Spanish Is The Loving Tongue, Spanish Ladies, Spencer The Rover, Sperry Rand, Spinning Wheel, Spirit Keeper, Sportin Bachelors, Sporting Life Blues, Spree, Spring Glee, Springfield Mountain, Squidjigging Ground, Sri Lanka Anthem Text, Sri Lanka Native Anthem Text, St Francis Prayer, St James Infirmary, Stagolee, Staines Morris, Standing Stones, Star Of Belle Isle, Star Of The County Down, Star Spangled Banner, Starlight On The Rails, Starving To Death On My Government Claim, State Of Arkansas, State Of Arkansaw, State Of Yugoslavia, Stately Southerner, Stealin Stealin, Step It Out Nancy, Step Stone, Stewball, Stokess Verdict, Stonewall Jacksons Way, Stormalong, Storms Are On The Ocean, Stormy Weather Boys, Story Of Macpherson, Story Of Petey The Snake, Stoutest Man In The Forty Twa, Strange Fruit, Strangers In My Soup, Stratton Mountain Tragedy, Strawberry Roan, Streams Of Lovely Nancy, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson 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
