[Abm] [Eb]
It was a morning in July, [Ab] I was walking through [Eb] to Prairie, When I [Gm] heard the battle cry [Ab] from the mountain [Bb] overhead.
[Eb] And I looked up in the [Ab] sky, saw an Irish [Eb] soldier laddie, [Bb] He looked at me right fearlessly [Cm] and [Eb] said,
[Bb] Will you stand in the band like [Eb] a true Irishman, And go to fight the forces [Bb] of the crown?
[Eb] Will you march with O'Neill [Ab] to an Irish battlefield, [Bb] Or tonight we'll go and frowl the [Eb] Wexford town?
Said I to the soldier lad, would you take me to your captain, It would be [Gm] my pride and joy [Ab] for to march with [Bb] you today.
[Eb] My own brother fell at hawk, and my son at eliscor feet, [Bb] So to the noble captain I did [Eb] say,
Will [Bb] you stand in the band [Eb] like a true Irishman, And go to fight the forces [Bb] of the crown?
[Eb] Will you march with O'Neill [Ab] to an Irish battlefield, [Bb] Or tonight we'll go and frowl [Eb] the Wexford town?
As we marched back again [Ab] in the shadow [Eb] of the evening, With our banners [Gm] flying low to [Ab] the memory [Bb] of the dead.
[Eb] Oh we came unto our homes, [Ab] but without my [Eb] soldier laddie, [Gm] And I still can [Bb] hear those brave words [Eb] he said,
[Ab]
[Eb] [Gm] Will you stand in the band [Eb] like a true Irishman, And go to fight the forces [Bb] of the crown?
[Eb] Will you march with O'Neill [Ab] to an Irish battlefield, Or [Bb] tonight we'll go and frowl the [Eb] Wexford town?
[Gm] Will you stand in the band [Eb] like a true Irishman, And go to fight the forces [Bb] of the crown?
[Eb] Will you march with O'Neill to [Ab] an Irish battlefield, [Bb] Or tonight we'll go and frowl the [Eb] Wexford town?
