Fare Thee Well Enniskillen
Fare Thee Well EnniskillenOur troop was made readyat the dawning of the dayFrom lovely Enniskillenwe were marching awayThey put us then on a ship me boysto cross the raging mainTo fight in bloody battlein the sunny land of SpainOh, Spain it is a gallant landwhere wine and ale flow freeThere´s lots fo lovely women thereto dandle on your kneeAnd often in a tavern therewe´d make the rafters ringWhen every soldier in the housewould raise his glass and singWell we fought for Ireland´s glory thereand many a man did fallFrom musket and from bayonetand from thundering cannon ballAnd many a foeman we laid lowamong the battle throngAnd as we prepared for actionwe shall never sing this songWell now the war is overand for home we have set sailOur flag above this lofty shipis fluttering in the galeThey´ve given us a pension boysof four pence each a dayAnd when we reach Enniskillennever more I´ll have to sayFare thee well Enniskillenfare thee well for a whileAnd all around the bordersof Erin´s green isleAnd when the war is overwe´ll return in full bloomAnd you´ll all welcome homethe Enniskillen Dragoons
