Song (ar lean)
“About four years ago, I was diggin' the land.”
(ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)V
The next place they sent me was down to the sea,
On board a big ship bound for the Crimea
Three sticks in the middle all covered with sheet
"Shure" it walked on the water without any feet.
Chorus.
VI
'Twas in Balaclava we landed quite sound,
Cold, wet, & hungry we lay on the ground.
Next morning for action the bugle did call,
And we got a hot breakfast of powder & ball.
Chorus.
VII
We fought with the Russians likewise at Inkerman
The Russians they "walloped" us at the red dawn
When scaling a wall there myself lost an eye.
And a big Russian bullet ran away with me thigh
Chorus.
VIII
There I lay bleeding, stretched dead on the ground,
Heads, legs, & arms all scattered around.
'Ses I, if me mammy & friends they were nigh.
They'd bury me "dacent" & raise a loud cry.
Chorus.
IX
'Tis often I think of me mam & me home
And the days that I spent diggin' turf ac' mo bhrón
The bullets were thick & the iron was hot,
And I lay in the trenches for fear I'd be shot.
