  1. Song

    Captain Brien brought in his men to play the famous Blues

    I
    Captain Brien brought in his men
    To play the famous Blues,
    The Highest notion in his head
    The match he would not lose.
    Chorus
    Fal - de - do - i - aye
    Fal - de - do - i - aye
    Fal - de - do - i -addy
    With my Fal - de - do - I aye
    II
    Paddy Sweeney got the Ball,
    He hit it in the air,
    And Foxy Brien came up and said,
    That, that ball was not fair.
    Chorus
    III
    Ambrose in the back line,
    Shivering in his shoes,
    And Cogan and Aherne
    Scoring for the Blues.
    Chorus
    IV
    We are in by day,
    We are out by night,
    We are always on the run,
