Subject: RE: Lyr Req: GARY OWEN (not the old one)
I'm seeking the complete lyrics used in the movie. Crap historically... maybe, but entertaining as hell.

I remember that night during the liberation watching the story on cable news of what the 7th did to those 400 Iraqis with ill-judgement, and later action taken on airport road, TWO WORDS for you guys... GOOD JOB!!! Godspeed!

Custer isn't honored for what happened at Big horn, His legend and honor due the 7th comes from their actions during the civil war especially at Gettysburg, look everyday of every man's life isnt glorious but at the end when you add up the good and the bad if more weight is on the good so be it. It was a good life.


Lyrics
(what I've found so far, incomplete to the movie)
Let Baccus' son be not dismayed,
And join with me, each jovial blade.
Come, booze and sing and lend your aid
To help me with the chorus:

In place water, we'll drink ale,
And pay the reck'ning on the nail.
No man for debt shall go to jail,
If he from Garryowen hail.

Oh we can dare and we can do.
United men and brothers too,
Their gallant footsteps do pursue,
And change our country's story.

Our hearts so stout have got us fame,
For soon 'tis known from whence we came.
Where 'ere we go they dread the name
Of Garryowen in glory.

I found them here
