Here's a song for the laddies who fought in the war
For the lassies who waited so long
A song for the parents who had never before
Mourned a son who ain't coming home
Here's a song for the soldiers who stood side by side
And the causes that they gladly died for
Here's a tune for the bar and the brethren within
Who remember the cost of this war
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll
Drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and then
Sing a song that's in ¾
And here's a toast, quite a boast, from the back of the hall
And the voices that echo its reason
While we sit here and drink the sweet brew of freedom
Across the world, it's hunting season
Those who died for the land, be ye humble or proud
Ye died for a cause that was noble
If ye fight to be free, you've the courage of three
May your horn forever be full
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll
Drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and then
Sing a song that's in ¾
And i'll sit here and wait in this old tavern hall
And watch all my brothers go missing
And the bags that come home to be buried alone
I salute you and for you i sing
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll
Drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and then
Sing a song that's in ¾
And the pain never ends for those who stayed behind
To watch as our brothers go off to die
The stained flag of liberty waves o'er us now
As we salute a blood bought free sky
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll
Drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and we'll drink and then
Sing a song that's in ¾
