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.
Chorus:
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 the
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
Chorus.
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
Chorus.
Well now the fighting's over and for home we have set
sail,
Our flag above this lofty ship is fluttering in the gale:
They've given us a pension
boys of fourpence each a day
And when we reach Enniskillen never more.we'll have to
say.
Chorus.
