What for should I sing you of Roman or Greek, |
| [00:19.866] |
Or the boys we hear tell of in story? |
| [00:23.785] |
Come match me for fighting, for frolic, or freak, |
| [00:27.660] |
An Irishman's reign in his glory; |
| [00:31.413] |
For Ajax, and Hector, and bold Agamemnon, |
| [00:35.375] |
Were up to the tricks of our trade, O, |
| [00:39.157] |
But the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise, |
| [00:43.109] |
The boys of the Irish Brigade, O! |
| [00:54.648] |
What for should I sing you of Helen or Troy, |
| [00:58.659] |
Or the mischief that came by her flirting? |
| [01:02.384] |
There's Biddy M'Clinchy the pride of Fermoy, |
| [01:06.251] |
Twice as much of a Helen, that's certain. |
| [01:10.025] |
Then for Venus, so famous, or Queen Cleopatra, |
| [01:14.194] |
Bad luck to the word should be said, O, |
| [01:17.939] |
By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise, |
| [01:21.779] |
The Boys of the Irish Brigade, O! |
| [01:56.730] |
What for should I sing you of classical fun, |
| [02:00.465] |
Or of games, whether Grecian or Persian? |
| [02:04.332] |
Sure the Curragh's the place where the knowing one's done, |
| [02:08.290] |
And Mallow that flogs for diversion. |
| [02:11.927] |
For fighting, for drinking, for ladies and all, |
| [02:15.973] |
No time like our times e'er was made, O, |
| [02:19.658] |
By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise, |
| [02:23.715] |
The boys of the Irish Brigade, O! |
| [02:35.224] |
By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise, |
| [02:40.405] |
The boys of the Irish Brigade, O! |
