<br />
 -----------------------------------<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 As I was walking down the road<br />
<br />
 A feeling fine and larky oh<br />
<br />
 A recruiting sergeant came up to me<br />
<br />
 Says he, you`d look fine in khaki oh<br />
<br />
 For the King he is in need of men<br />
<br />
 Come read this proclamation oh<br />
<br />
 A life in Flanders for you then<br />
<br />
 Would be a fine vacation oh<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 That may be so says I to him<br />
<br />
 But tell me sergeant dearie-oh<br />
<br />
 If I had a pack stuck upon my back<br />
<br />
 Would I look fine and cheerie oh<br />
<br />
 For they`d have you train and drill until<br />
<br />
 They had you one of the Frenchies oh<br />
<br />
 It may be warm in Flanders<br />
<br />
 But it`s draughty in the trenches oh<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 The sergeant smiled and winked his eye<br />
<br />
 His smile was most provoking oh<br />
<br />
 He twiddled and twirled his wee mustache<br />
<br />
 Says he, I know you`re only joking oh<br />
<br />
 For the sandbags are so warm and high<br />
<br />
 The wind you won`t feel blowing oh<br />
<br />
 Well I winked at a cailin passing by<br />
<br />
 Says I, what if it`s snowing oh<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 Come rain or hail or wind or snow<br />
<br />
 I`m not going out to Flanders oh<br />
<br />
 There`s fighting in Dublin to be done<br />
<br />
 Let your sergeants and your commanders go<br />
<br />
 Let Englishmen fight English wars<br />
<br />
 It`s nearly time they started oh<br />
<br />
 I saluted the sergeant a very good night<br />
<br />
 And there and then we parted oh<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />

 Me mind being elevated<br />

 And they off to see the races<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 With me wack fol the do fol<br />
<br />
 The diddle idle day<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 There were passengers from Limerick<br />
<br />
 And passengers from Nenagh<br />
<br />
 The boys of Connemara<br />
<br />
 And the Clare unmarried maiden<br />
<br />
 There were people from Cork City<br />
<br />
 Who were loyal, true and faithful<br />
<br />
 Who brought home the Fenian prisoners<br />
<br />
 From dying in foreign nations<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 And it`s there you`ll see the pipers<br />
<br />
 And the fiddlers competing<br />
<br />
 And the sporting wheel of fortune<br />
<br />
 And the four and twenty quarters<br />
<br />
 And there`s others without scruple<br />
<br />
 Pelting wattles at poor Maggie<br />
<br />
 And her father well contented<br />
<br />
 And he gazing at his daughter<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 And it`s there you`ll see the jockeys<br />
<br />
 And they mounted on so stably<br />
<br />
 The pink, the blue, the orange, and green<br />
<br />
 The colors of our nation<br />
<br />
 The time it came for starting<br />
<br />
 All the horses seemed impatient<br />
<br />
 Their feet they hardly touched the ground<br />
<br />
 The speed was so amazing!<br />

 <br />
<br />
 There was half a million people there<br />
<br />
 Of all denominations<br />
<br />
 The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, the Presbyterian<br />

 Yet there was no animosity<br />
<br />
 No matter what persuasion<br />

 But failte hospitality<br />

[Recruiting Sergeant]

-----------------------------------

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 oh

That may be 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 the 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 mustache

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
