D G Am D G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
D Am D
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
G D Am D
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
G Am D G
And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons
[VERSE 1:]
Am D G
Now our good ship was ready at the dawning of the day
D Am D
From lovely Enniskillen, they were marching us away
G D Am D
They put us all onboard a ship to cross the raging Main
G Am D G
For to fight a bloody battle in the sunny land of Spain
[CHORUS:]
D G Am D G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
D Am D
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle

Now, Spain it is a gallant land where wine and ale flow free
D Am D
There's many a lovely women to dandle on your knee
G D Am D
And often an alehouse, we would make the rafters ring
G Am D G
When every soldier in the house would raise his glass and sing
[CHORUS:]
D G Am D G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
D Am D
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle

And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom

And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons
[VERSE 3:]
Am D G
We fought for Ireland's glory there and many a man did fall
D Am D
From musket and from bayonet and from thundering cannonball
G D Am D
And many a foeman we laid low amid the battle throng
G Am D G
And as we prepared for action, you would often hear this song
[CHORUS:]
D G Am D G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
D Am D
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
G D Am D
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom

And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons
[VERSE 4:]

And well, now, the war is over and for home we have set sail
D Am D
And the flag upon our lofty ship is fluttering in the gale
G D Am D
They have given us a pension of fourpence a day
G Am D G
And when we reach Enniskillen, never more we'll have to say
[CHORUS:]
D G Am D G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
D Am D
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
G D Am D
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
