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

As I was walking down the road[00:00:20]

A feeling fine and larky oh[00:00:21]

A recruiting sergeant came up to me[00:00:23]

Says he you'd look fine in khaki oh[00:00:25]

For the King he is in need of men[00:00:28]

Come read this proclamation oh[00:00:30]

A life in Flanders for you then[00:00:31]

Would be a fine vacation oh[00:00:33]

That may be so says I to him[00:00:37]

But tell me sergeant dearie-oh[00:00:39]

If I had a pack stuck upon my back[00:00:41]

Would I look fine and cheerie oh[00:00:43]

For they'd have you train and drill until[00:00:46]

They had you one of the Frenchies oh[00:00:48]

It may be warm in Flanders[00:00:49]

But it's draughty in the trenches oh[00:00:51]

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

His smile was most provoking oh[00:00:57]

He twiddled and twirled his wee mustache[00:00:59]

Says he I know you're only joking oh[00:01:01]

For the sandbags are so warm and high[00:01:04]

The wind you won't feel blowing oh[00:01:06]

Well I winked at a cailin passing by[00:01:07]

Says I what if it's snowing oh[00:01:09]

Come rain or hail or wind or snow[00:01:13]

I'm not going out to Flanders oh[00:01:15]

There's fighting in Dublin to be done[00:01:16]

Let your sergeants and your commanders go[00:01:18]

Let Englishmen fight English wars[00:01:21]

It's nearly time they started oh[00:01:23]

I saluted the sergeant a very good night[00:01:25]

And there and then we parted oh[00:01:27]

As I went down to Galway Town[00:02:08]

To seek for recreation[00:02:09]

On the seventeenth of August[00:02:11]

Me mind being elevated[00:02:12]

There were passengers assembled[00:02:14]

With their tickets at the station[00:02:16]

And me eyes began to dazzle[00:02:17]

And they off to see the races[00:02:19]

With me wack fol the do fol[00:02:20]

The diddle idle day[00:02:22]

There were passengers from Limerick[00:02:27]

And passengers from Nenagh[00:02:28]

The boys of Connemara[00:02:30]

And the Clare unmarried maiden[00:02:31]

There were people from Cork City[00:02:33]

Who were loyal true and faithful[00:02:35]

Who brought home the Fenian prisoners[00:02:36]

From dying in foreign nations[00:02:38]

And it's there you'll see the pipers[00:02:46]

And the fiddlers competing[00:02:47]

And the sporting wheel of fortune[00:02:48]

And the four and twenty quarters[00:02:50]

And there's others without scruple[00:02:52]

Pelting wattles at poor Maggie[00:02:54]

And her father well contented[00:02:56]

And he gazing at his daughter[00:02:57]

And it's there you'll see the jockeys[00:03:24]

And they mounted on so stably[00:03:25]

The pink the blue the orange and green[00:03:27]

The colors of our nation[00:03:29]

The time it came for starting[00:03:30]

All the horses seemed impatient[00:03:32]

Their feet they hardly touched the ground[00:03:33]

The speed was so amazing [00:03:35]

There was half a million people there[00:03:43]

Of all denominations[00:03:45]

The Catholic the Protestant the Jew the Presbyterian[00:03:46]

Yet there was no animosity[00:03:49]

No matter what persuasion[00:03:51]

But failte hospitality[00:03:53]

Inducing fresh acquaintance[00:03:54]
