Dowling and the Davis Guards

come sit and hear my story, child
upon your granddad's knee
of how the irish heroes fought in 1863

Leutenant Richard Dowling lead
a band of gallant men
a brave and handsome warrior
a redhead irishman

now the war between the states was on
and 2 years come to pass
the union sent invading force
to land at sabine pass

to crush the south, the yankees sent
5000 by the sea
while dowling and the davis guard
they numbered 43

we didnt know we couldnt win
we faced the yankee foe
we turned the federal fleet around
and laid their gunboats low

Dick Dowling and the davis guards
in 1863
the irish heroes whipped the yanks
and saw them turn and flee

the union thought a show of strength
would take the rebel fort
and here within a cable length
theyd build a yankee port

so cautiously they pressed their plan
their gunboats breathing fire
while safe behind a dozen ships
would watch the fight transpire

well they saw their cannon miss the mark
and boats steam toward the key
they saw projectiles fall beyond,
or harmless in the sea

and when they saw them drift in range
of dowlings shot and shell
they saw the davis open fire
and blast then all to hell

we didnt know we couldnt win
we faced the yankee foe
we turned the federal fleet around
and laid their gunboats low
Dick Dowling and the davis guards
in 1863
the irish heroes whipped the yanks
and saw them turn and flee

the union struck their colors
put a white flag in its place
350 yankees there
surrendered in disgrace

surrendered to the davis guard
and then were shocked to see
dick dowling and the davis
only numbered 43

now history remembers
through the tales of old granddads
leutenant richard dowling
and our band of gallant lads

when each september rolls around
ill raise a glass and say
heres a health to all the davis guard
who turned the yankee fleet away

we didnt know we couldnt win
we faced the yankee foe
we turned the federal fleet around
and laid their gunboats low
Dick Dowling and the davis guards
in 1863
the irish heroes whipped the yanks
and saw them turn and flee
