irish soldier laddie - freedom sons lyrics

[verse 1]
’twas a morning in july, i was walking tipperary
when i heard the battle cry from the mountains overhead
as i looked up in the sky, saw an irish soldier laddie
he looked at me quite fearlessly and said:

[chorus]
“i will stand in the band like a true irishman
we’ll go and fight the forces of the crown
i will march with o’neill through an irish battlefield
for tonight we’re gonna free ol’ wexford town”

[verse 2]
said i to that soldier boy: “will you take me to your captain?
it will be my pride and joy for to march with ye today
my young brother fell at cork and my son at enniscorthy”
and to the n0ble captain i did say:

[chorus]
“i will stand in the band likе a true irishman
we’ll go and fight the forcеs of the crown
i will march with o’neill through an irish battlefield
for tonight we’re gonna free ol’ wexford town”

[verse 3]
as we marched back from the field
in the shadow of the evenin’
with our banners flying low to the memory of the dead
we’ll return unto our homes but without my soldier laddie
and i never will forget those words he said:
[chorus]
“i will stand in the band like a true irishman
we’ll go and fight the forces of the crown
i will march with o’neill through an irish battlefield
for tonight we’re gonna free ol’ wexford town”
