david kincaid – kelly’s irish brigade lyrics

Loading...

listen all ye that hold communion
with southern confederates bold
while i tell you of some men who for the union
in the northern ranks were enrolled;
they came to missouri in their “glory,”
and thought, at their might, we’d be dismayed;
but they soon made them tell a different story

when they met kelly’s irish brigade, me boys
when they met kelly’s irish brigade
didn’t those cowardly lincoln-ites tremble
when they met with the irish brigade?

they have called us rebels and traitors
but themselves have thrown off the name of late
they were called it by the english invaders
at home in the eve of ninety-eight (1798)
the name to us is not a new one though
tis’ one that shall never degrade
and each blue-hearted irishman
in the ranks of kelly’s irish brigade

when they met with the irish brigade, me boys
when they met with the irish brigade
didn’t those cowardly lincoln-ites tremble
when they met with the irish brigade?

well they dare not call us invaders
’tis but state rights and liberties we ask;
and missouri, we will ever defend her
no matter how hard be the task
then let the irishmen -ssemble
let the voice of missouri be obeyed;
and northern fanatics may tremble

when again they meet kelly’s irish brigade
when they met with the irish brigade, me boys
when they met with the irish brigade
didn’t those cowardly lincoln-ites tremble
when they met with the irish brigade?
