Lyrics
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 we'll all welcome home our Enniskillen dragoon
Our troops were made ready at the dawning of the day
From lovely Enniskillen they were marching away
They put us on board a ship to cross the raging main
And to fight a cruel battle in the sunny land of Spain
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 we'll all welcome home our Enniskillen dragoon
Oh, Spain 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
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 we'll all welcome home our Enniskillen dragoon
Well, we fought for Ireland's glory there, and many a man did fall
From musket and from bayonet and from thundering cannonball
And many a foe man we laid low amid the battle throng
And as we prepared for action, you would often hear this song
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 we'll all welcome home our Enniskillen dragoon
