thanks for the reply, wolfgang. i am also VERY interested in the lyrics for "Irish Soldier Laddie" which i have tried a number of combinations for on the database, but turned up nothing of what i was looking for. its chorus goes something like "will you stand and (defend?) like a true Irishman?, will you go and fight the forces of the crown? will you follow O'Neil to an Irish battlefield for tonight we go and (?) Wexford town."
