Come all you gallant heroes,
Along with me, combined
I'll sing a song, it won't take long,
Of the Fighting Sixty Ninth
They're a band of men brave, stout and bold,
From Ireland they came
And they have a leader to the fold,
And Cocoran was his name

It was in the month of April,
When the boys they sailed away
And they made a sight so glorious,
As they marched along Broadway
They marched right down Broadway, me boys,
Until they reached the shore
And from there they went, to Washington,
And straight unto the war

So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys, that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth

And when the war is said and done,
May heaven spare our lives
For its only then that we can return,
To our loved ones and our wives
We'll take them in our arms, me boys,
For a long night and a day
And we'll hope that war will come no more,
To sweet Americay

So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys who fear no noise,
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth

So farewell unto you dear New York,
Will I e'er see you once more
For it fills my heart with sorrow,
To leave your sylvan shore
But the country now it is calling us,
And we must hasten fore
So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys,
And to Ireland's lovely shore

And here's to Murphy and Devine,
Of honour and renown
Who did escort our heroes,
Unto the battle ground
And said unto our colonel,
We must fight hand to hand
Until we plant the stars and stripes,
Way down in Dixieland

So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth

So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile
Singing here's the boys who fear no noise,
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
