[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional arranged by David Kincaid
[00:01.334] You Irishmen and women too, draw near, both young and old
[00:06.921] A doleful lamentation now to you I will unfold
[00:11.864] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[00:19.561] One hundred gallant Irishmen, we are left for to deplore
[00:24.595] Whose bodies fell a-victim upon fair Columbia's shore
[00:29.729] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[00:37.415] It was at the siege of New Orleans, upon the ninth of May
[00:42.617] Our countrymen they suffered so upon that fatal day
[00:47.560] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[00:55.461] They were engaged by five to one when charged on with the steel
[01:00.492] But Erin's sons did loudly cry, we'll die before we kneel
[01:05.482] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[01:29.058] They were repulsed, they could not stand, exertion proved in vain
[01:33.871] They strove to break the enemy's force, and drive them from the plain
[01:38.997] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[01:46.711] But alas their number it was too small and it gave them no fair play
[01:51.844] Not one of them did near escape upon that fatal day
[01:56.514] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[02:04.772] To see the streets that evening, each heart would rend with pain
[02:09.894] The human blood in rivers ran that can it flood a stream
[02:14.838] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[02:22.680] Men's heads blown off their bodies most dismal for to see
[02:27.773] And wounded men did loudly cry with pain and agony
[02:32.902] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[02:56.439] The federals they did then advanced and broken through the town
[03:01.147] They trampled dead and wounded men that lay upon the ground
[03:06.014] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[03:14.087] The wounded called for mercy but none they did receive
[03:19.217] They numbered them among the dead and threw them in the grave
[03:23.883] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[03:32.004] Three hundred killed and wounded that then lay in their grave
[03:37.091] One half of them were Irishmen far from their native shore
[03:42.226] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[03:50.066] Poor orphans now they may weep and cry and parents through the day
[03:55.015] They let their lovely children go on to Americay
[03:59.881] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[04:23.448] For ye that hear those doleful lines, do not neglect to toil
[04:28.298] An they everfore enlighten good on St. Patricks Isle
[04:33.520] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[04:41.308] And a drink upon our countrymen who left their native shore
[04:46.385] Their friends may mourn for their loss they'll never see them more
[04:51.116] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[04:59.284] Now to conclude with these few lines, with grief I'll say no more
[05:04.369] You know it was through poverty they left their native shore
[05:09.177] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
[05:17.292] They had no one to heal their wounds, may angels them surround
[05:22.331] Before the throne of heaven may they wear a brilliant crown
[05:27.091] With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
