Now our good ship was ready at the dawning of the day

From lovely Enniskillen, they were marching us away
   C      G        D        G
They put us all onboard a ship to cross the raging Main
    G       C       D      G
For to fight a bloody battle in the sunny land of Spain

Chorus:

Now, Spain it is a gallant land where wine and ale flow free
    C       G    D       G
There's many a lovely women to dandle on your knee
  C    G         D        G
And often an alehouse, we would make the rafters ring
   G       C         D          G
When every soldier in the house would raise his glass and sing

Chorus:

Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile

  G          D       C       G
We fought for Ireland's glory there and many a man did fall
   C        G        D        G
From musket and from bayonet and from thundering cannonball
  C       G      D       G
And many a foeman we laid low amid the battle throng
    G        C         D        G
And as we prepared for action, you would often hear this song

And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons

Verse 4:
     G        D      C        G
And well, now, the war is over and for home we have set sail
     C       G       D        G
And the flag upon our lofty ship is fluttering in the gale
     C     G     D     G
They have given us a pension of fourpence a day
     G       C      D         G
And when we reach Enniskillen, never more we'll have to say
