Gallant Forty TWA - The Clancy Brothers

You may talk about your lancers or your Irish Fusiliers

The Aberdeen Militia or the Queen's Own Volunteers

Or any other regiment that's lying far awa'

Come gie to me the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa

And strolling through the green fields on a summer day

Watching all the country girls working at the hay

I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa'

When I saw him in the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa

I never will forget the day his regiment marched past

The pipes they played a lively tune but my heart was aghast

He turned around and smiled farewell and then from far awa'

He waved at me the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa

And strolling through the green fields on a summer day

Watching all the country girls working at the hay

I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa'

When I saw him in the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa

Once again I heard the music of the pipers from afar

They tramped and tramped the weary men returning from the war

And as they nearer drew I brushed a woeful tear awa'

Just see me and my braw laddie of the gallant Forty Twa

And strolling through the green fields on a summer day

Watching all the country girls working at the hay

I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa'

When I saw him in the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa

I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa'

When I saw him in the tartan of the gallant Forty Twa
