david kincaid - pat murphy of meagher's brigade lyrics
’twas the night before battle and gathered in groups
the soldiers lay close at their quarters
they were thinking no doubt of the deer ones at home
of mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters
with his pipe in his mouth sat a dashing young blade
and a song he was lilting quite gaily
it was honest pat murphy of meagher’s brigade
and he sang of the sprig of shillelagh
och murder, says pat, it’s a shame for to see
brothers fighting in such a queer manner
but i’ll fight till i die, if i shouldn’t be kilt
for america’s bright starry banner
now if it was only john bull to the fore
i’d rush into battlе quite gaily
for the spalpeen i’d rap with a heart and a half
with my illigant sprig of shillеlagh
jeff davis, you thief, if i had you but here
your beautiful plans i’d be ruinin’
faith, i’d give you a taste of my bayonet, bedad
for trying to burst up the union
there’s a crowd in the north too, and they’re just as bad
abolitionist spouters so scaly
for troubling the negros i think they deserve
a whack from a sprig of shillelagh
the morning soon came and poor paddy awoke
on the rebels to have satisfaction
and the drummers was beating the devil’s sad tune
calling the boys into action
then the irish brigade in the battle was seen
their blood in our cause shedding freely
with their bayonet charges they rushed on the foe
with a shout for the land of shillelagh
the battle was over, the dead lay in heaps
pat murphy lay bleedin’ and gory
a hole through his head from a rifleman’s shot
had finished his passion for glory
no more in the camp shall his laughter be heard
nor his voice singing ditties so gaily
like a hero he died for the land of the free
far away from the land of shillelagh
then surely columbia can never forget
while valor and fame hold communion
how n0bly the brave irish volunteers fought
in defense of the flag of our union
if ever old ireland for freedom should strike
we’ll a helping hand offer quite freely
and the stars and the stripes shall be seen alongside
of the flag of the land of shillelagh
it was honest pat murphy of meagher’s brigade
and he sang of the sprig of shillelagh
