Emi                   G  D 
Come all you gallant heroes, 
Emi               D 
And along with me combined 
Emi 
I'll sing a song, 
    G          D 
it won't take long, 
Emi 
Of the Fighting Sixty Ninth 
G 
They're a band of men brave, 
D 
stout and bold, 
Emi                D 
From Ireland they came 
Emi                    G       D 
And they have a leader to the fold, 
Emi              D  Emi 
And Cocoran was his name 
 
It was in the month of April, 
When the boys they sailed away 
And they made a sight so glorious, 
As they marched along Broadway 
They marched right down Broadway, 
me boys, 
Until they reached the shore 
And from there they went to Washington, 
And straight unto the war 
 
   G                          D 
R: So we gave them a hearty cheer, me boys, 
Emi                   D 
It was greeted with a smile 
Emi                             G        D 
Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, 
Emi 
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth 
 
And when the war is said and done, 
May heaven spare our lives 
For its only then we can return, 
To our loved ones and our wives 
We'll take them in our arms, 
me boys, 
For a long night and a day 
And we'll hope that war will come no more, sweet America 
 
R: So we gave them a hearty cheer, 
me boys, 
It was greeted with a smile 
Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, 
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth 
 
So farewell unto you dear New York, 
Will I e'er see you once more 
For it fills my heart with sorrow, 
To leave your sylvan shore 
But the country now it is calling us, 
And we must hasten fore 
So here's to the stars and stripes, 
me boys, 
And to Ireland's lovely shore 
 
And here's to Murphy and Devine, 
Of honour and renown 
Who did escort our heroes, 
Unto the battle ground 
And said unto our colonel, 
We must fight hand to hand 
Until we plant the stars and stripes, 
Way down in Dixieland 
 
R: So we gave them a hearty cheer, 
me boys, 
It was greeted with a smile 
Singing here's to the boys who feared no noise, 
We're the Fighting Sixty Ninth
