As down the glen came McAlpine’s menWith their shovels slung behind them‘Twas in the pub they drank the subAnd up in the spike you’ll find them
They sweated blood and they washed down mudWith pints and quarts of beerAnd now we’re on the road againWith McAlpine’s fusiliers
From Mcalpine’s Fusiliers – Dominick Behan 1960
