Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk
 Irish Soldier Laddie 
One morning in July I was walking through Tipperary When I heard a battle cry from the mountains overhead I looked up to the sky and saw an Irish soldier laddie He looked at me right fearlessly and said 
Will you stand in the band like a true Irish man And go and fight the forces of the crown Will you march with O'Neill to an Irish battlefield For tonight we're gonna free old Wexford town 
Said I to the soldier, "Will you take me to your captain It would be my pride and joy for to fight with you today My young brother fell at Cork, my son at Enniscorthy" And to the noble captain I did say 
Chorus 
As we marched back from the field In the shadow of the evening With our banners flying low to the memory of our dead We returned to our homes But without my soldier laddie But I never will forget those words he said 
Chorus X 2
