[00:00.000]	作曲 : William Woodburn
[00:09.300]	On the twenty-first of July, beneath the burning sun.
[00:15.168]	McDowell met the Southern troops in battle, at Bull Run;
[00:21.176]	Above the Union vanguard, was proudly dancing seen,
[00:27.084]	Beside the starry banner, old Erin's flag of green.
[00:36.128]	Colonel Corcoran led the Sixty-ninth on that eventful day,
[00:41.823]	I wish the Prince of Wales were there to see him in the fray;
[00:47.803]	His charge upon the batteries was a most glorious scene,
[00:53.723]	With gallant New York firemen, and the boys that wore the green.
[01:02.606]	In the hottest of the fire there rode along the line
[01:08.492]	A captain of a Zouave band, crying, "Now, boys, is your time;"
[01:14.460]	Ah! who is he so proudly rides, with bold and dauntless mien?
[01:20.382]	'Tis Thomas Francis Meagher, of Erin's isle of green!
[01:32.402]	The colors of the Sixty-ninth, I say it without shame,
[01:38.093]	Were taken in the struggle to swell the victor's fame;
[01:44.076]	But Farnham's dashing Zouaves, that run with the machine,
[01:49.986]	Retook them in a moment, with the boys that wore the green!
[02:22.838]	Being overpowered by numbers, our troops were forced to flee,
[02:28.624]	The Southern black horse cavalry on them charged furiously;
[02:34.687]	But in that hour of peril, the flying mass to screen,
[02:40.335]	Stood the gallant New York firemen, with the boys that wore the green.
[02:49.377]	Oh, the boys of the Sixty-ninth, they are a gallant band,
[02:55.070]	Bolder never drew a sword for their adopted land;
[03:01.141]	Amongst the fallen heroes, a braver had not been,
[03:06.929]	Than you lamented Haggerty, of Erin's isle of green.
[03:18.980]	Farewell, my gallant countrymen, who fell that fatal day,
[03:24.725]	Farewell, ye noble firemen, now mouldering in the clay;
[03:30.659]	Whilst blooms the leafy shamrock, whilst runs the old machine,
[03:36.479]	Your deeds will live bold Red Shirts, and Boys that Wore the Green!
