[00:20.81]we play the March from Saul
[00:23.09]Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang
[00:25.04]and the horns they blaze away
[00:26.47]McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[00:28.72]while I the pipes do play
[00:30.47]And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute
[00:32.17]and the music is something grand
[00:34.11]A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[00:37.76]
