    found themselves against a far
    superior foe we made them do
    the "Turkey trot" across the
    homeland plain we gave the
    drip and then a dip and
    drove them back again.

    So fill your glass
    up to the brim of good old
    Irish beer and drink a health
    to the Irish boys who fought
    and knew no fear and when
    ever I hear the sound of guns
    and the clamour of war din,
    Ill never forget Gallopile and
    the struggle we were in.
    Written and composed by private Thomas O Rourke and his comrades who fought with the Leinsters in the Dardanelles
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
