<pre><font size='+2'>MEDLEY lyrics POGUES</font><br>As I was walking down the road<br />
A feeling fine and larky oh<br />
A recruiting sergeant came up to me<br />
Says he you`d look fine in khaki oh<br />
For the King he is in need of men<br />
Come read this proclamation oh<br />
A life in Flanders for you then<br />
Would be a fine vacation now<br />
<br />
That maybe so says I to him<br />
But tell me sergeant dearie-oh<br />
If I had a pack stuck upon my back<br />
Would I look fine and cheerie oh<br />
For they`d have you train and drill until<br />
They had you one of Frenchies oh<br />
It may be warm in Flanders<br />
But it`s draughty in the trenches oh<br />
<br />
The sergeant smiled and winked his eye<br />
His smile was most provoking oh<br />
He twiddled and twirled his wee moustache<br />
Says he I know you`re only joking oh<br />
For the sandbags are so warm and high<br />
The wind you won`t feel blowing oh<br />
Well I winked at a cailin passing by<br />
Says I what if it`s snowing oh<br />
<br />
Come rain or hail or wind or snow<br />
I`m not going out to Flanders oh<br />
There`s fighting in Dublin to be done<br />
Let your Sergeants and your Commanders go<br />
Let Englishmen fight English wars<br />
It`s nearly time they started oh<br />
I saluted the Sergeant a very good night<br />
And there and then we parted oh<br />
<br />
As I went down to Galway Town<br />
To seek for recreation on the 17th of August<br />
Me mind being elevated<br />
There were passengers assembled<br />
With their tickets at the station<br />
And me eyes began to dazzle<br />
And they off to see the races<br />
<br />
With me wack fol the do fol<br />
The diddle idle day<br />
<br />
There were passengers from Limerick<br />
And passengers from Nenagh<br />
The boys of Connemara<br />
And the Clare unmarried maiden<br />
There were people from Cork City<br />
Who were loyal, true and faithful<br />
Who brought home the Fenian prisoners<br />
From dying in foreign nations<br />
<br />
With me wack fol the do fol<br />
The diddle idle day<br />
<br />
And it`s there you`ll see the pipers<br />
And the fiddlers competing<br />
And the sporting wheel of fortune<br />
And the four and twenty quarters<br />
And there`s others without scruple<br />
Pelting wattles at poor Maggie<br />
And her father well contented<br />
And he gazing at his daughter<br />
<br />
With me wack fol the do fol<br />
The diddle idle day<br />
<br />
And it`s there you`ll see<br />
The jockeys and<br />
They mounted on so stably<br />
The pink, the blue, the orange, and green<br />
The colours of our nation<br />
The time it came for starting<br />
All the horses seemed impatient<br />
Their feet they hardly touched the ground<br />
The speed was so amazing!<br />
<br />
With me wack fol the do fol<br />
The diddle idle day<br />
<br />
There was half a million people there<br />
Of all dominations<br />
The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew<br />
The Presbyterian<br />
There was yet no animosity<br />
Not matter what persuasion<br />
But failte hospitality<br />
Inducing fresh acquaintance<br />
<br />
With me wack fol the do fol<br />
The diddle idle day<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/medley_lyrics-pogues.html" target='_blank'>MEDLEY lyrics POGUES</a></pre>

As I was walking down the road
A feeling fine and larky oh
A recruiting sergeant came up to me
Says he you`d look fine in khaki oh
For the King he is in need of men
Come read this proclamation oh
A life in Flanders for you then
Would be a fine vacation now

That maybe so says I to him
But tell me sergeant dearie-oh
If I had a pack stuck upon my back
Would I look fine and cheerie oh
For they`d have you train and drill until
They had you one of Frenchies oh
It may be warm in Flanders
But it`s draughty in the trenches oh

The sergeant smiled and winked his eye
His smile was most provoking oh
He twiddled and twirled his wee moustache
Says he I know you`re only joking oh
For the sandbags are so warm and high
The wind you won`t feel blowing oh
Well I winked at a cailin passing by
Says I what if it`s snowing oh

Come rain or hail or wind or snow
I`m not going out to Flanders oh
There`s fighting in Dublin to be done
Let your Sergeants and your Commanders go
Let Englishmen fight English wars
It`s nearly time they started oh
I saluted the Sergeant a very good night
And there and then we parted oh

As I went down to Galway Town
To seek for recreation on the 17th of August
Me mind being elevated
There were passengers assembled
With their tickets at the station
And me eyes began to dazzle
And they off to see the races

With me wack fol the do fol
The diddle idle day

There were passengers from Limerick
And passengers from Nenagh

And the Clare unmarried maiden
There were people from Cork City
Who were loyal, true and faithful
Who brought home the Fenian prisoners
From dying in foreign nations
