[Verse]
Come all you gallant heroes, along with me combine,
I'll sing a song, it won't take long, of the Fighting 69th,
They're a band of men, brave, stout and bold from Ireland they came,
And they have a leader to the fore, Mick Corcoran was his name.

It was in the month of April when the boys they sailed away,
And they made a sight so glorious as they marched along Broadway,
They marched right down Broadway, me boys, until they reached the shore,
And from there they went to Washington and straight on to the war.

[Chorus]
So, we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile,
Singing, "Here's to the boys that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting 69th."

[Verse]
And when the war is said and done, may heaven spare our lives,
For it's only then that we can return to our loved ones and our wives,
We'll take them in our arms, me boys, for a long night and a day,
And we'll hope that war will come no more to sweet Americay.

[Chorus]
So we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile,
Singing, "Here's to the boys that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting 69th."

[Verse]
So, farewell unto you dear New York, will I e'er see you once more?
For it fills my heart with sorrow to leave your sylvan shore,
But the country now it is calling us and we must hasten fore,
So here's to the stars and stripes, me boys, and to Ireland's lovely shore.

And here's to Murphy and Devine of honour and renown,
Who did escort our heroes onto the battle ground,
And said unto our colonel, "We must fight hand to hand,
Until we plant the stars and stripes way down in Dixieland."

[Chorus]
So, we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile,
Singing, "Here's to the boys that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting 69th."

[Chorus]
So, we gave them hearty cheers, me boys,
Which was greeted with a smile,
Singing, "Here's to the boys that fear no noise,
We're the Fighting 69th.".
