Fare Thee Well Inniskillen Lyrics - Singles - Town Pants

Our troop was made ready at the dawn of the day 

From lovely Enniskillen they were marching us away. 

They put us then on board a ship to cross the raging main, 

To fight in bloody battle in the sunny land of Spain. 

Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for a while 

And all around the borders of Erin's green isle; 

And when the war is over we'll return in full bloom 

And you'll all welcome home your Enniskillen Dragoons. 

Oh Spain it is a gallant land where wine and ale flow free 

There's lots of lovely women there to dandle on your knee 

And often in a tavern there we'd make the rafters ring 

When every soldier in the house would raise his glass and sing 

Well we fought for Ireland's glory there and many a man did fall 

From musket and from bayonet and from thundering cannon ball 

And many a foeman we laid low, amid the battle throng 

And as we prepared for action you would often hear this song
