[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:12] Sergeant William Bailey was a man of high renown

[00:00:18] Tooral looral looral looral loo

[00:00:23] In search of gallant young recruits he used to scour the town

[00:00:28] Tooral looral looral looral loo

[00:00:33] His face was full and swarthy of medals he had forty

[00:00:39] And ribbons on his chest red white and blue

[00:00:44] It was him that looked

[00:00:45] The hero as he made the people stare O

[00:00:49] As he stood at Murphy's corner tooral loo

[00:00:54] Now as Sergeant William Bailey on Dunphy's corner stands

[00:01:00] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:01:05] Enticing Dublin young lads for to die in foreign lands

[00:01:10] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:01:15] For to improve their station he shouts in high elation

[00:01:20] To come and fight for king and country

[00:01:25] But for all the noise he's making the bait they aren't taking

[00:01:30] From Sergeant William Bailey toora loo

[00:01:35] Now alas for human greatness every dog he has his day

[00:01:41] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:01:46] And Sergeant William Bailey he is getting old and grey

[00:01:51] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:01:56] No longer youths are willing to take his dirty shilling

[00:02:01] And things for him are looking mighty blue

[00:02:06] For in spite of fife and drumming no more recruits are coming

[00:02:11] To Sergeant William Bailey toora loo

[00:03:03] And now Sergeant William Bailey what a wretched sight to see

[00:03:14] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:03:22] And the back that once was strong

[00:03:25] And straight's now almost bent in three

[00:03:31] Toora loora loora loora loo

[00:03:37] Some rebel youths with placards have called his army blaggards

[00:03:44] And told the Irish youth just what to do

[00:03:49] He has lost his occupation let's sing in jubilation

[00:03:54] For Sergeant William Bailey toora loo
