frank harte - eighteenth of june lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
all you people who live at home easy
and far from the trials of war
never knowing the dangers of battle
but are safe with your families secure

know you the long scythe of destruction
has been sweeping the nations all ’round
but it never yet cut with the keenness
that it did on the eighteenth of june

[chorus]
and what a sad heart had poor boney
to take up instead of a crown
and to canter from brussels to paris
lamenting the eighteenth of june

[verse 2]
it began abuot five in the morning
and it lasted till sеven at night
all the peoplе who stood ’round in amazement
they had never yet seen such a sight

and the thunder of five hundred cannon
proclaimed that the battle was on
and the moon in the sky overshone all
recording the eighteenth of june
[chorus]
and what a sad heart had poor boney
for to take up instead of a crown
and to canter from brussels to paris
lamenting the eighteenth of june

[verse 4]
all you young girls with sweethearts out yonder
that go daily to buy the black gown
it’s one thousand to one i will lay you
your love fell on the eighteenth of june

sixty+thousand stout+hearted brave soldiers
who died, made an awful pall tune
and there’s many’s the one will remember
with sorrow, the eighteenth of june

[chorus]
and what a sad heart had poor boney
for to take up instead of his crown
and there’s many’s the girl will remember
with sorrow, the eighteenth of june
