Achill Crossing – Irish Soldier Laddie

Achill Crossing – Irish Soldier Laddie Lyrics

Artist: Achill Crossing
Song: Irish Soldier Laddie

‘Twas a morning in July
I was walking through Tipperary
When I heard a battle cry
From the mountains over head

When I looked up in the sky
Saw an Irish soldier laddie
He looked at me right fearlessly and said
Will you stand in the band like a true Irish man

Go and fight the forces of the crown
Will you march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field
For tonight we’ll go to free old Wexford town
Said I to that soldier boy

“Won’t you take me to your captain
It would be my pride and joy
For to march with you today
My young brother fell in Cork

And my son at Innes Carthay”
Unto the noble captain I did say
I will stand in the band like a true Irish man
Go and fight the forcеs of the crown

I will march with O’Neill to an Irish battle fiеld
For tonight we’ll go to free old Wexford town
Will you stand in the band like a true Irish man
Go and fight the forces of the crown

Will you march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field
For tonight we’ll go to free old Wexford town
As we marched back from the field
In the shadow of the evening

With our banners flying low
To the memory of our dead
We returned unto our homes
But without our soldier laddie

Yet I never will forget the words he said
Will you stand in the band like a true Irish man
Go and fight the forces of the crown?
Will you march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field

For tonight we go to free old Wexford town
Will you stand in the band like a true Irish man
Go and fight the forces of the crown
Will you march with O’Neill to an Irish battle field

For tonight we’ll go to free old Wexford town
For tonight we’ll go to free old Wexford town
