Was one morning in July
I was walking to Tipperary
When I heard a battle cry
From the mountains overhead
As I looked up in the sky
Saw an Irish soldier laddie
He looked at me right fearlessly and said
"Will you stand in the Bann 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 go to free old Wexford town"
Said I to that soldier boy
"Won't you take me to your captain?
It'll be my pride and joy
For to march with you today
My young brother fell at Cork
And my son at Enniscorthy"
And to the noble captain I did say
"Will we stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
As we march back again
In the shadow of the evening
With our banners flying low
To the memory of dead
We returned onto our homes
But without our soldier laddie
Yet I never will forget these words you've said
"Will you stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
"Will you stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town
For tonight we'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
I was walking to Tipperary
When I heard a battle cry
From the mountains overhead
As I looked up in the sky
Saw an Irish soldier laddie
He looked at me right fearlessly and said
"Will you stand in the Bann 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 go to free old Wexford town"
Said I to that soldier boy
"Won't you take me to your captain?
It'll be my pride and joy
For to march with you today
My young brother fell at Cork
And my son at Enniscorthy"
And to the noble captain I did say
"Will we stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
As we march back again
In the shadow of the evening
With our banners flying low
To the memory of dead
We returned onto our homes
But without our soldier laddie
Yet I never will forget these words you've said
"Will you stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
"Will you stand in the Bann 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'll go to free ol' Wexford town
For tonight we'll go to free ol' Wexford town"
