derek warfield - long live the 69th lyrics
hail to the men now in triumph returning
black with the battle smoke ; radiant with fame
ireland is proud, and america’s grateful
the heart of each irish girl hounds at their name
“caed millea failtha”, men! out on the air again
rings the clear sound of an irish hurrah (“hurrah!”)
as up from the surging crowd
bursts the shout, deep and loud
long live the sixty+ninth, “erin go bragh!”
many a heart will throb proudly in ireland
many a bright eye that brighter will be
when the fame of their matchless endurance and daring
goes echoing over the fathomless sea
old men will bless their name
young men will long for fame
millions who never the sixty+ninth saw
will echo that rolling cry, sweeping like whirlwinds by
long live the sixty+ninth, “erin go bragh!”
the honor of ireland was safe in their keeping
the “sunburst” and “stars and stripes” safe in their hands
no marvel they fought with a strength superhuman
for each man in the sixty+ninth struck for two lands
hail to the true and tried
shout their praises far and wide
greet them once more with an irish hurrah
swift to charge, firm to stand, brave heart and steady hand
long live the sixty+ninth, “erin go bragh!”
welcome ye true hearted heroes of ireland
to the laurels your motherlands worn for long years
ye’ve added a leaf through the chapter already
is so thick that it veils the deep traces of tears
hide not your glorious rags
bring out your tattered flags
spick+and+span soldiers and those without flaw
let them admire who will, our heartfelt cry be still
long live the sixty+ninth, “erin go bragh!”
