Dropkick Murphys - Fighting 69th (Traditional) Lyrics
Come all you gallant heroes,
And along with me combined
I'll sing a song, it won't take long,
Of the Fighting Sixty Ninth
They're a band of men brave, stout and bold,
And they have a leader to the fold,
And Cocoran was his name
It was in the month of April,
When the boys they sailed away
And they made a sight so glorious,
As they marched along Broadway
They marched right down Broadway, me boys,
Until they reached the shore
And from there they went to Washington,
[Chorus:]
So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys,
It was greeted with a smile
Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise,
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
And when the war is said and done,
May heaven spare our lives
For its only then we can return,
To our loved ones and our wives
We'll take them in our arms, me boys,
For a long night and a day
And we'll hope that war will come no more,
To sweet America
[Chorus]
So farewell unto you dear New York,
Will I e'er see you once more
For it fills my heart with sorrow,
To leave your sylvan shore
But the country now it is calling us,
And we must hasten fore
So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys,
And to Ireland's lovely shore
And here's to Murphy and Devine,
Of honour and renown
Who did escort our heroes,
Unto the battle ground
And said unto our colonel,
We must fight hand to hand
Until we plant the stars and stripes,
Way down in Dixieland
[Chorus]

just to piss you off you fuck.
They butchered this civil war song. Just butchered.
Why the hell is a world war I or II picture up when this is a CIVIL WAR song? Jeez.
because the fighting 69th also fought in these wars and still exists.
SoulKiller7Eternal this cover was on their album, "the gang's all here". The photo on this song is just the album cover
SoulKiller7Eternal go die on a toilet, while choking on load
SoulKiller7Eternal 69th sings this song to this day along with the original in both the field and at balls
Naes Raemius did you serve with the 69th? Because I can absolutely vouch for this, we sing it every st patty’s day which is the 69the unit day. I actually met the drop kick Murphy’s when they performed at the armory back in 2012
Yep, it's a rewrite, though not by them. See also the Wolfe Tones version, which is acoustic and with a slightly slower tempo.
