Now, some will say the world is grim
And hope a distant dream
Humanity a world away
But if they’d only seen
Our citizens emerge that day
Their fellowman to cheer
Well, it’s a different tale they’d have to tell
Of our New York Volunteers
We take in stride the trouble and strife
Like New York Volunteers
We come from every walk of life
The poorest to the grand
And side by side that fateful day
We stood to bear a hand
And though to those from far away
Quite different we appear
Yes, we’re black and tan, we’re yellow and white
We’re New York Volunteers
We take in stride the trouble and strife
Like New York Volunteers
We’re from this native land
We’re every culture and every creed
That are known to man
And on our streets, on any day
Every language will you hear
Yet when tragedy strikes we band as one
Like New York Volunteers
We take in stride the trouble and strife
Like New York Volunteers
Dave & Ernie… … Dave & Ernie…being a Civil War reeanctor the Irish Brigade element to this song is marvelous. Paddy O’Rourke would have been proud! I would love to see you play it in person! Ever been to Michigan? You guys are amazing!
David, you are my … David, you are my Bruce Springsteen of the Past! Love your music and since I first saw you that fateful weekend at Beth Paige (about 5 yrs ago) with husband Dana, we’ve learned your songs and spend weekends just playing along on the fiddle to your recordings. Hope to catch you again. Londonderry, NH has the Tupelo Coffeehouse – A nice venue if you’re looking. You’re the Best!!!
