CLARE’S DRAGOONS 2nd pos
18th C. Irish folk song
Key: G

-4 4 -3 -4  -4   5     6  -6   6 
When on Ram-il-lies’ blood-y field
-4  -3   -4    -4    -7   7 -7  -6 6 5
The baf-fled French were forced to yield
-44 -3  -4  -4  5   6    -6    -7
The vic-tor Sax-on back-ward reeled
7   -7   6    5    7    -7    -6    6
Be-fore the charge of Clare’s dra-goons
-6   -7   -8 -6    -7   6   -6   -7
The flags we con-quered in that fray
 6    -7  -8 -6 -7    7 -6   -6 6 6
Look lone in Y-pres’ choir, they say
 6 -6  -7   -8  -6  -7 6  -6 -7
We’ll with them com-pa-ny to-day
7   -8   6   5   7     -7    -6    6
Or brave-ly die like Clare’s dra-goons
-5 5 -3 -4 -4   5   6    -6    6 -4
Then vi-va-la, for Ire-land’s wrong
-3 -4 -4 -7  7-7 -6 6     5
vi-va-la for Ire’land’s right
-4 4 -3 -4 -4  5   6  -6    -7
Then vi-va-la, in bat-tle through
 7  7  -8   6    5    7  -7 -6    6
For a Span-ish steed and sa-ber bright
