[Verse 1]
G# C# G# D#
Me name is Tim McDonnell, I’m from the Emerald Isle,
G# C# G# D# G#
I was born in Ireland’s bogs and left when but a child.
C# G# D#
Me father fought in ’98, for liberty so dear;
G# C# G# D# G#
He fell upon old Vinegar Hill, like an Irish volun teer.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere,
C# G# D# G#
We’ll fight and fall beneath the folds like Irish volun teers!
G# C# G#
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere,
C# G# D# G#
We’ll fight and fall beneath the folds like Irish volun teers!
[Verse 2]
G# C# G# D#
When I was driven from me home by an oppressor’s hand,
G# C# G# D# G#
I cut me sticks and greased me brogues, and came over to this land.
C# G# D#
I found a home and many friends, and some that I love dear;
G# C# G# D# G#
I’ll stick to them like bricks and glue says the Irish Volun teer.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere,
C# G# D# G#
We’ll fight and fall beneath the folds like Irish volun teers!
G# C# G#
Then raise the harp of Erin, boys, the flag we all revere,
C# G# D# G#
We’ll fight and fall beneath the folds like Irish volun teers!
[Verse 3]
G# C# G# D#
Now when the traitors of the south commence their warlike raid,
G# C# G# D# G#
I quickly laid down my hod, to the devil went me spade!
C# G# D#
To a recruiting office , that happened to be near,
G# C# G# D# G#
And joined the good old sixty-ninth like an Irish Volun teer.
[Chorus 2]
G# C# G#
Then fill the ranks, and march away! No traitor’s do we fear;
C# G# D# G#
We’ll drive them all to blazes, says the Irish Volun teer.
G# C# G#
Then fill the ranks, and march away! No traitor’s do we fear;
C# G# D# G#
We’ll drive them all to blazes, says the Irish Volun teer.
[Verse 4]
G# C# G# D#
When the Prince of Wales came o’er, and made a hullaba loo,
G# C# G# D# G#
Oh, everybody was turned-out in gold and tinsel too;
C# G# D#
But then the good old sixty-ninth they didn’t like lords or peers,
G# C# G# D# G#
They wouldn’t give a damn for Kings, the Irish volun teers!
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
We love the land of liberty, it’s laws we will revere,
C# G# D# G#
“But the devil take the nobility!” says the Irish volun teer.
G# C# G#
We love the land of liberty, it’s laws we will revere,
C# G# D# G#
“But the devil take the nobility!” says the Irish volun teer.
[Verse 5]
G# C# G# D#
Now if the traitors in the south should ever cross our roads,
G# C# G# D# G#
We’ll drive them all to blazes, as Saint Patrick did the toads,
C# G# D#
Well give them all short nooses that come just below the ears
G# C# G# D# G#
Made strong and good from Irish hemp, by Irish volun teers.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
Then here’s to brave McClellan, whom the army now reveres,
C# G# D# G#
He’ll lead us on to victory, say the Irish volun teers.
G# C# G#
Then here’s to brave McClellan, whom the army now reveres,
C# G# D# G#
He’ll lead us on to victory, say the Irish volun teers.
[Verse 6]
G# C# G# D#
Now fill your glasses up, me boys, a toast come drink with me,
G# C# G# D# G#
May Erin’s harp and Starry Flag united ever be;
C# G# D#
May traitors quake, and rebels shake, and tremble in their fears,
G# C# G# D# G#
When next we meet the Yankee boys, the Irish volun teers.
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
God bless the name of Washington, that name this land reveres,
C# G# D# G#
Success to Meagher and Nugent and the Irish volun teers.
G# C# G#
God bless the name of Washington, that name this land reveres,
C# G# D# G#
Success to Meagher and Nugent and the Irish volun teers.
