Kellys Irish Brigade

        C                        
Listen all ye that hold communion 
                                Am 
with Southern Confederates so bold,
    G

          C                      
And I'll tell you of some men for 
            F      C              
the Union who in northern ranks 
G      C
were enrolled.
      C                          F
They came to Missouri in their 
         C                         
glory and thought we would might be
   Am     G
 dismayed,
           C                       
But they soon had a different story
   F        C          G  
 when they met Kelly's Irish 
       C
Brigade.

           C                
When they met with the Irish 
     F
Brigade, my boys.

When they met with the Irish 
     Am     G
Brigade.
               C                 
Didn't those cowardly Lincolnites 
           F
tremble when
      C            G        C
They met with the Irish Brigade.

      C                       
They have called us rebels and 
traitors, but themselves have thrown
                    Am    G
 off that name of late.
           C                       
They were called it by the English 
             F           C      G C
invaders at home in the eve of '98.

The name to us is not a new one, 
               C                
though 'tis one that shall never 
       Am     G
degrade
      C                         
Any true hearted Irishman in the 
   F       C       G        C
ranks of Kelly's Irish Brigade.

Didn't those cowardly Lincolnites

tremble when
      C            G        C
They met with the Irish Brigade.

       C                           
Well they dare not call us 
invaders, 'tis but states' rights 
       Am      G
and liberty we ask.
         C                         
And Missouri we'll ever defend her 
    F          C       G       C
no matter how hard may be the task.
      C                        F  
Then let all true Irishmen 
             C                    
assemble. Let the voice of 
Am     G
Missouri be obeyed.
         C                    
And the northern fanatics will 
                 F        C       
tremble when again they meet 
    G         C
Kelly's Irish Brigade.
