JohnGalway 1,043 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I heard a song played on the radio today. Liam Neesons voice features over music played by The Chieftans. It's a song about an Irish Battalion fighting for Mexico in the Mexican American war. There is a version on YouTube, but it's videoed at a concert and, well, it's rubbish quality. Anyone know of another source online to listen to it? Cheers, John Think it might actually be called "March to Battle" actually. Lyrics below; We are the San Patricios, a brave and gallant band There'll be no white flag flying within this green command We are the San Patricios, we have but one demand, To see the Yankees safely home across the Rio Grande... We've disappeared from history like footprints in the sand But our song is in the tumbleweeds and our love is in this land But if in the desert moonlight you see a ghostly band We are the men who died for freedom across the Rio Grande Edited February 26, 2010 by JohnGalway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
