[00:03:55] Medley: The Recruiting Sergeant / The Rocky Road To Dublin / The Galway Races - The Pogues

[00:03:55] (Recruiting Sergeant)

[00:03:55] As I was walking down the road

[00:03:55] A feeling fine and larky oh

[00:03:55] A recruiting sergeant came up to me

[00:03:55] Says he, you'd look fine in khaki oh

[00:03:55] For the King he is in need of men

[00:03:55] Come read this proclamation oh

[00:03:55] A life in Flanders for you then

[00:03:55] Would be a fine vacation oh

[00:03:55] That may be so says I to him

[00:03:55] But tell me sergeant dearie-oh

[00:03:55] If I had a pack stuck upon my back

[00:03:55] Would I look fine and cheerie oh

[00:03:55] For they'd have you train and drill until

[00:03:55] They had you one of the Frenchies oh

[00:03:55] It may be warm in Flanders

[00:03:55] But it's draughty in the trenches oh

[00:03:55] The sergeant smiled and winked his eye

[00:03:55] His smile was most provoking oh

[00:03:55] He twiddled and twirled his wee mustache

[00:03:55] Says he, I know you're only joking oh

[00:03:55] For the sandbags are so warm and high

[00:03:55] The wind you won't feel blowing oh

[00:03:55] Well I winked at a cailin passing by

[00:03:55] Says I, what if it's snowing oh

[00:03:55] Come rain or hail or wind or snow

[00:03:55] I'm not going out to Flanders oh

[00:03:55] There's fighting in Dublin to be done

[00:03:55] Let your sergeants and your commanders go

[00:03:55] Let Englishmen fight English wars

[00:03:55] It's nearly time they started oh

[00:03:55] I saluted the sergeant a very good night

[00:03:55] And there and then we parted oh

[00:03:55] (The Rocky Road to Dublin)

[00:03:55] (Instrumental)

[00:03:55] (Galway Races)

[00:03:55] As I went down to Galway Town

[00:03:55] To seek for recreation

[00:03:55] On the seventeenth of August

[00:03:55] Me mind being elevated

[00:03:55] There were passengers assembled

[00:03:55] With their tickets at the station

[00:03:55] And me eyes began to dazzle

[00:03:55] And they off to see the races

[00:03:55] With me wack fol the do fol

[00:03:55] The diddle idle day

[00:03:55] There were passengers from Limerick

[00:03:55] And passengers from Nenagh

[00:03:55] The boys of Connemara

[00:03:55] And the Clare unmarried maiden

[00:03:55] There were people from Cork City

[00:03:55] Who were loyal, true and faithful

[00:03:55] Who brought home the Fenian prisoners

[00:03:55] From dying in foreign nations

[00:03:55] And it's there you'll see the pipers

[00:03:55] And the fiddlers competing

[00:03:55] And the sporting wheel of fortune

[00:03:55] And the four and twenty quarters

[00:03:55] And there's others without scruple

[00:03:55] Pelting wattles at poor Maggie

[00:03:55] And her father well contented

[00:03:55] And he gazing at his daughter

[00:03:55] And it's there you'll see the jockeys

[00:03:55] And they mounted on so stably

[00:03:55] The pink, the blue, the orange, and green

[00:03:55] The colors of our nation

[00:03:55] The time it came for starting

[00:03:55] All the horses seemed impatient

[00:03:55] Their feet they hardly touched the ground

[00:03:55] The speed was so amazing!

[00:03:55] There was half a million people there

[00:03:55] Of all denominations

[00:03:55] The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, the Presbyterian

[00:03:55] Yet there was no animosity

[00:03:55] No matter what persuasion

[00:03:55] But failte hospitality

[00:03:55] Inducing fresh acquaintance
