Damien Dempsey - St Patrick’s Brave Brigade lyrics

rate me

Well, my name is Patrick O’Connor

And I lie here on Mexican ground

And I know that I’m merely a gunner

Other church bells far off it resounds.

Treated like dogs, by our all US regiments

The bigger tree we could not stand.

We ran and we joined with the Mexican army,

We got respect and we even got land.

Hook:

St Patrick’s brave brigade

All Mexico still honors their names.

The San Patricio’s green boarder

Rushes over aligned gringos.

Well, I fought with distinction for both sides

For it’s hard to fight for men who hates

Face your country, your faith and create lies

To keep monkeys like Mic in their place.

Thought that my life, there was so...

While a doctor with eyes cold and blue.

Early next morning got a ...

Don’t strung me up by my neck,

And my last thought was you!

Hook: (x2)

St Patrick’s brave brigade

All Mexico still honors their names.

The San Patricio’s green boarder

Rushes over aligned gringos.

St Patrick’s brave brigade

St Patrick’s brave brigade

The San Patricio honored in all Mexico
