Paddy Goes To Holyhead Fare Thee Well Enniskillen
Our troop was made ready
at the dawning of the day
From lovely Enniskillen
we were marching away
They put us then on a ship me boys
to cross the raging main
To fight in bloody battle
in the sunny land of Spain
Oh, Spain it is a gallant land
where wine and ale flow free
There´s lots fo lovely women there
to dandle on your knee
And often in a tavern there
we´d make the rafters ring
When every soldier in the house
would raise his glass and sing
Well we fought for Ireland´s glory there
and many a man did fall
From musket and from bayonet
and from thundering cannon ball
And many a foeman we laid low
among the battle throng
And as we prepared for action
we shall never sing this song
Well now the war is over
and for home we have set sail
Our flag above this lofty ship
is fluttering in the gale
They´ve given us a pension boys
of four pence each a day
And when we reach Enniskillen
never more I´ll have to say
Fare thee well Enniskillen
fare thee well for a while
And all around the borders
of Erin´s green isle
And when the war is over
we´ll return in full bloom
And you´ll all welcome home
the Enniskillen Dragoons
