Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
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
Now our good ship was ready at the dawning of the day
From lovely Enniskillen, they were marching us away
They put us all onboard a ship to cross the raging Main
For to fight a bloody battle in the sunny land of Spain
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
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
Now, Spain it is a gallant land where wine and ale flow free
There's many a lovely women to dandle on your knee
And often an alehouse, we would make the rafters ring
When every soldier in the house would raise his glass and sing
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
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
We fought for Ireland's glory there and many a man did fall
From musket and from bayonet and from thundering cannonball
And many a foeman we laid low amid the battle throng
And as we prepared for action, you would often hear this song
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
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
And well, now, the war is over and for home we have set sail
And the flag upon our lofty ship is fluttering in the gale
They have given us a pension of fourpence a day
And when we reach Enniskillen, never more we'll have to say
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
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
