The Boys of the Irish Brigade

[00:00.000]	作曲 : Mrs. Gore
[00:16.116]	What for should I sing you of Roman or Greek,
[00:19.866]	Or the boys we hear tell of in story?
[00:23.785]	Come match me for fighting, for frolic, or freak,
[00:27.660]	An Irishman's reign in his glory;
[00:31.413]	For Ajax, and Hector, and bold Agamemnon,
[00:35.375]	Were up to the tricks of our trade, O,
[00:39.157]	But the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise,
[00:43.109]	The boys of the Irish Brigade, O!
[00:54.648]	What for should I sing you of Helen or Troy,
[00:58.659]	Or the mischief that came by her flirting?
[01:02.384]	There's Biddy M'Clinchy the pride of Fermoy,
[01:06.251]	Twice as much of a Helen, that's certain.
[01:10.025]	Then for Venus, so famous, or Queen Cleopatra,
[01:14.194]	Bad luck to the word should be said, O,
[01:17.939]	By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise,
[01:21.779]	The Boys of the Irish Brigade, O!
[01:56.730]	What for should I sing you of classical fun,
[02:00.465]	Or of games, whether Grecian or Persian?
[02:04.332]	Sure the Curragh's the place where the knowing one's done,
[02:08.290]	And Mallow that flogs for diversion.
[02:11.927]	For fighting, for drinking, for ladies and all,
[02:15.973]	No time like our times e'er was made, O,
[02:19.658]	By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise,
[02:23.715]	The boys of the Irish Brigade, O!
[02:35.224]	By the rollicking boys, for war, ladies and noise,
[02:40.405]	The boys of the Irish Brigade, O!
