IRISH SOLDIER LADDIE
C'Twas a morning in July I was Fwalking to TipperCary
When I heard a battle cry from the Dmountains overG7head
As I Clooked up in the sky, saw an FIrish soldier Claddie.
He G7looked at me right fearless and he Csaid:
Chor
Will you Gstand in the Fband like a Ctrue Irishman
And go to fight the forcGes of the G7crown
Will you Cmarch with O'Neill to an FIrish battlefield,
For toGnight we're going to free old Wexford Ctown
Said I to that soldier lad, would you take me to your Captain
It would be my pride and joy for to march with you today
My young brother fell at Cork and my son at Enniscorthy
To the noble Captain I did say:
Chorus:I will stand in the band ...
As we marched back again in the shadow of the evening
With our banners flying low to the memory of the dead
Oh we came back to our homes, but without our soldier laddie
But I still can hear those brave words that he said:
Chorus:I will stand in the band ...
Chorus:Will you stand in the band ...
