You Irishmen and women too, draw near, both young and old |
| [00:06.921] |
A doleful lamentation now to you I will unfold |
| [00:11.864] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [00:19.561] |
One hundred gallant Irishmen, we are left for to deplore |
| [00:24.595] |
Whose bodies fell a-victim upon fair Columbia's shore |
| [00:29.729] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [00:37.415] |
It was at the siege of New Orleans, upon the ninth of May |
| [00:42.617] |
Our countrymen they suffered so upon that fatal day |
| [00:47.560] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [00:55.461] |
They were engaged by five to one when charged on with the steel |
| [01:00.492] |
But Erin's sons did loudly cry, we'll die before we kneel |
| [01:05.482] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [01:29.058] |
They were repulsed, they could not stand, exertion proved in vain |
| [01:33.871] |
They strove to break the enemy's force, and drive them from the plain |
| [01:38.997] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [01:46.711] |
But alas their number it was too small and it gave them no fair play |
| [01:51.844] |
Not one of them did near escape upon that fatal day |
| [01:56.514] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [02:04.772] |
To see the streets that evening, each heart would rend with pain |
| [02:09.894] |
The human blood in rivers ran that can it flood a stream |
| [02:14.838] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [02:22.680] |
Men's heads blown off their bodies most dismal for to see |
| [02:27.773] |
And wounded men did loudly cry with pain and agony |
| [02:32.902] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [02:56.439] |
The federals they did then advanced and broken through the town |
| [03:01.147] |
They trampled dead and wounded men that lay upon the ground |
| [03:06.014] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [03:14.087] |
The wounded called for mercy but none they did receive |
| [03:19.217] |
They numbered them among the dead and threw them in the grave |
| [03:23.883] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [03:32.004] |
Three hundred killed and wounded that then lay in their grave |
| [03:37.091] |
One half of them were Irishmen far from their native shore |
| [03:42.226] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [03:50.066] |
Poor orphans now they may weep and cry and parents through the day |
| [03:55.015] |
They let their lovely children go on to Americay |
| [03:59.881] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [04:23.448] |
For ye that hear those doleful lines, do not neglect to toil |
| [04:28.298] |
An they everfore enlighten good on St. Patricks Isle |
| [04:33.520] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [04:41.308] |
And a drink upon our countrymen who left their native shore |
| [04:46.385] |
Their friends may mourn for their loss they'll never see them more |
| [04:51.116] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [04:59.284] |
Now to conclude with these few lines, with grief I'll say no more |
| [05:04.369] |
You know it was through poverty they left their native shore |
| [05:09.177] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
| [05:17.292] |
They had no one to heal their wounds, may angels them surround |
| [05:22.331] |
Before the throne of heaven may they wear a brilliant crown |
| [05:27.091] |
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
