[Chorus]
           G        C                 D       G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
C                  G          D           G
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
    C               G             D           G
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom

[Verse 1]
        G             D           C              G
Now our good ship was ready at the dawning of the day
      C           G                 D           G
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]
           G        C                 D       G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
C                  G          D           G
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
    C               G             D           G
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
          G           C           D            G
And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons
 
[Verse 2]
     G              D                C                 G
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]
           G        C                 D       G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
C                  G          D           G
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
    C               G             D           G
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
          G           C           D            G
And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons
 
[Verse 3]
    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
 
[Chorus]
           G        C                 D       G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
C                  G          D           G
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
    C               G             D           G
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
          G           C           D            G
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
 
[Chorus]
           G        C                 D       G
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for awhile
C                  G          D           G
And all around the borders of Erin's green isle
    C               G             D           G
And when the war is over, we'll return in full bloom
          G           C           D            G
And we'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoon
