The Dubliners - The Inniskillen Dragoons lyrics
[The Dubliners - The Inniskillen Dragoons 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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
A beautiful damsel of fame and renown
A gentleman's daughter from Monaghan town
As she drove by the
Barracks this beautiful maid
Stood up in her coach to
See Dragoons on parade
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
They were all dressed out
Like gentlemen's sons
Their fine shining sabres and
Their carbine guns
Their silver mounted pistols
She observed them full soon
Because she loved an Enniskillen Dragoon
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
Flora dear Flora your pardon I crave
It's now and forever that I'll be your slave
Your parents have insulted both morn
Night and noon
Because you would wed an Enniskillen Dragoon
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
Willie dearest Willie don't heed
What they say
For children their parents are bound to obey
But when the war is over
They'll all change their tune
And you'll roll me in your arms
By the light of the moon
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
A beautiful damsel of fame and renown
A gentleman's daughter from Monaghan town
As she drove by the
Barracks this beautiful maid
Stood up in her coach to
See Dragoons on parade
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
The Enniskillen Dragoons
They were all dressed out
Like gentlemen's sons
Their fine shining sabres and
Their carbine guns
Their silver mounted pistols
She observed them full soon
Because she loved an Enniskillen Dragoon
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
