lyrics

THE SOLDIER’S SASH

It was old but it was beautiful
the colours they were fine
it was worn in Derry Aughrim
Enniskillen and the Boyne

Well my father he wore it
in grand old days of yore
and on the 12th
I’m proud to wear
the sash my old daddy wore

SOLDIER BOYS ARE WE

I took it down to the drugstore
so it could have a little drink
it fell off the table staggered around a lot
picked up three women
makes ya think

Well I took it on down to the pool hall
to get its daily shot
started to sing messed up the place
coughed a lot

SOLDIER BOYS ARE WE

It was very old and very very beautiful
it never drank wine
it was born in
London Paris New York South America
Randalstown Enniskillen and the Boyne

Well my dear old daddy he wore it
just like the Grand Old Duke of York
and on the 12th I’ll never wear
the sash my father never wore
never

SOLDIER BOYS ARE WE
