The Boys That Wore The Green
On the 21st of July Beneath a burning sun McDowell met the Southern troops In battle at Bull Run Above the Union vanguard Was proudly to be seen Beside the starry banner Old Erinґs flag of green
Col. Corcoran led the 69th On that eventful day I wish the Prince of Wales were there To see him in the fray His charge upon the batteries Was a most glorious scene With gallant New York firemen And the boys that wear the green
In the hottest of the fire There rode along the line A captain of the Zouave band, crying "Now, boys, is your time" Ah, who so boldy rides With the bold and dauntless men ҐTis Thomas Francis Meagher Of Erinґs isle of green
The colors of the 69th I say it without shame Were taken in the struggle To swell the victorґs fame But Farnhamґs dashing Zouaves That run with the machine Retook them in a moment With the boys that wore the green
