Captain Taggart took the field With his men as hard as steel And we drove the bloody rebels to the sea Before the guns were stilled There were many hundreds killed There's many an Irish girl sad tonight When the smoke had cleared It was just as we had feared Captain Taggart lay wounded on the ground With his head upon my knee There he met eternity I proudly closed his eyes and then I cried Chorus: Its whiskey in the mornin', whiskey in the night Another Irish soldier-lad, has fought his final fight We'll toast him till were drunk Boys, and dowse the candle light Tell them Captain Taggart, is comin' home tonight Well, we took his body home And the drums and pipes did drone And pulled a fine black casket through the streets We told his grievin' wife That he loved her more than life And gave to his young son his father's sword Now the people, they all dream Of an Ireland free and green Where nowhere can be heard the battle-cry The fighting's gone too long And it just drags on and on I'd like to know some peace before I die
