The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones - Connaught Rangers songtekst

Je score:

To the tiny homesteads of the West

The recruiting sergeant came

He promised all a future bright

So the brave young men went off to fight

For the empire and her might

And many's the victory they had won

Many the hardships they had seen

They fought and died, side by side

Their enemies they had defied and for a foreign king



And the drums they were a beating time

While the pipes did loudly play

When Daly died, the drums did beat

That morning in the Dagshai heat

Now we'll beat the drums no more



While serving in a far off land

The news had come from home

Of a peoples' fate it did relate

Of the tans and their campaign of hate

And we're fighting on their side

Arise Arise young Daly cried

Come join along with me

We'll strike a blow for Liberty

Our regiment will mutiny and support our friends at 

home



And the drums they were a beating time

While the pipes did loudly play

When Daly died, the drums did beat


That morning in the Dagshai heat

Now we'll beat the drums no more



And the Colonel stood before his troops

Those men who mutineed

He told them of those honours won

But the men stood in the blazing sun

Saying we'll fight your wars no more

For cannon fodder we had been

For the French at Waterloo at Suvla and Sud Elbar

We fought your every bloody war

And we'll fight you wars to more



And the drums they were a beating time

While the pipes did loudly play

When Daly died, the drums did beat

That morning in the Dagshai heat

Now we'll beat the drums no more



Those men got penal servitude

And Daly's condemned to die

Far from his home in Tyrellpass

This young man's died in Ireland's cause

Far from his native land



And the drums they were a beating time

While the pipes did loudly play

When Daly died, the drums did beat

That morning in the Dagshai heat

Now we'll beat the drums no more
