Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional arranged by David Kincaid
[00:00.812] "Och! 'Tis nate to be captain or
[00:04.260] Colonel, devil a bit would I want to be higher,"
[00:08.924] "But to rust as a private I think's an
[00:11.903] Infernal predicament, surely!" says Private Maguire
[00:16.702] "They can go sparkin' and playin' at billiards,
[00:20.291] With money to spend for their slightest desire,"
[00:24.111] "Loafin' and aytin' and drinkin' at ballards,
[00:27.930] While we're on the pickets!" says Private Maguire
[00:36.047] "Livin' in clover, they think it's a trifle,
[00:39.307] To stand out all night in the rain and the mire,"
[00:43.265] "And a Yankee hardby with a villainous
[00:46.761] Rifle, is ready to pop ye!" says Private Maguire
[00:51.369] "Faith now, it's not that I'm after
[00:53.977] Complainin', I'm spiling to meet ye, Abe Lincoln, Esquire!"
[00:58.763] "Ye blaggard, it's only I'm weary of training,
[01:02.541] And training, and training!" says Private Maguire
[01:38.067] Oh lord for a row, but Maguire boy, be easy,
[01:41.947] And keep yourself sweet for the enemy's fire
[01:45.690] "Gen'ral Lee is the chap who shortly will please
[01:49.480] Ye, be the holy Saint Patrick!" says Private Maguire
[01:53.505] "And lad if you're hit, oh bedad!
[01:56.120] That infernal Jimmy O'Dowde would make love to Maria,"
[02:01.064] "Whether you're captain or major or colonel,
[02:05.030] You'll die with the best then!" says Private Maguire
[02:09.198] "Whether you're captain or major or colonel,
[02:12.696] You'll die with the best then!" says Private Maguire
