Lyrics for Macnamaras Band by Unknown:
| | | Artist: | Unknown |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Macnamaras Band | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 154 | | | | Lyrics: | Macnamara's Band
My name is Macnamara,
I'm the leader of a band,
And though
we're small in number,
We're the best in all the land.
Of course l'm the
conductor
And l've often had to play
With all the fine musicians
That you read about
today.
Chorus:
The drums they bang, the cymbals clang,
The horns they blaze
away,
Macarthy puffs the ould bassoon,
Doyle (And I) the pipes does play.
Hennessey
tuteily tootles the flute,
The music is something grand,
And a credit to ould Ireland's
boys
Is Macnamara's Band.
Whenever an election's on
We play on either
side,
And the way we play the fine ould airs
Fills every heart with pride.
If dear
Tom Moore was living now
He'd make them understand
That none can do him justice
Like
ould Macnamara's Band.
Chorus.
We play for fairs or weddings
And for
every County Ball,
And at any great man's funeral
We play "The Dead March in
Saul."
When General Grant to Ireland came
He shook me by the hand,
And said he never
heard the like
Of ould Macnamara's Band.
Chorus.
Just now we are
practicing
For a very grand affair,
It's an annual celebration,
All the gentry will
be there.
The girls and boys will all turn out
With flags and colours grand,
And in
front of the procession
Will be Macnamara's Band.
