A red and white guide on ay troops got a
guide though. Now it's nice. It's red and white. It's
got all the old.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Silver rings on a LANDFALLO named the places and graved
on 'em, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvani all in places and some
new ones. Some are lady And it looks fine, but
it ain't the right one. It ain't the old silk
whting a battle guy down. That's the one I lost
for him, and I'm paying for its.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Tain't that you know the saying in the army, whatever
you lose, you gonna find.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It on the payroll. Tain't that I'm paying for a difference.
And I walk into Fiddler's Green once.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Twice the year, and first thing, some fella hollers appen.
You get out of here, Noah, Well, when.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You're the fella lost eight troops guy done, And that
three whiskey there in the bar looks awful good to me,
But I wiped my mouth on my sleeves.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Turn around and go out again.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Change out of my old blue uniform with the white
yellow stripes on my birch's legs and my upside down
sergeant's stripes, and I.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Put on g I copon and pick up my rifle
and my.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ain't that go back to a troop rifle and banner.
Imagine the Calvertyman with a banner, well else you can
imagine the Covertyman without no horse. I guess you can
imagine a banner too.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
They won't leave me in the Fiddler's Green, but that
once in a while somebody will stop me as I'm leaving.
Maybe it'll be shameless daily that was the guy done
before me, And you'll say kind of homesake, hay and a.
You'll say the band's still playing Garry Owen in the
old outfit, And I'll say, you bet your life seamless
when they don't play garyol no more, they won't be
(02:37):
those in the cavalry seamous. He kind of grins and
he slifts me a half pint of that my non
gee heel awrye and I come away, And maybe there's
a maybe there's a little niff in the bottle for
some of the other boys that's in the scene fixed.
I mean, and I walk along the ways of the
other fellas, and most generally we meet the old man.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He'll be walking along slow in his spurs, changing them
big Mexican.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Spurs they always worn, and then we'll snap it up
and throw 'em a big sellows he's grand Addison Hower.
Howdy boys, we'll say, holly sir, and you walk on
slow down towards Fiddler's Greens, and we'll feel worse than
ever cause the old man he can't get in the
(03:29):
Fiddler's Green either.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know, Maybe I ought to tell you about
this guy Downe. Huh. You know what a guy Downe
is now?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's uh kind of little swallow tail flag. Nowadays, every
outfit in the army has one company flag, you know,
all colors. Even the MP's they got one that yell
and green. But there was a day when nobody but
Calvalry had a guy done red and white.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Top half red, regiment's number.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
In white blower half white with a troop letter and
red like seven a eight troop, seventh Cavalry. Only when
I first enlisted. They still call them companies, just like
in the dough Boys.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, it's quite a while to go the troop.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Uh, the company of cavalry was quite a sighting the
days old red and white.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Guy down crackling away in the wind.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Sixty three men in blue suits through their sabers, flashing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
In the sunlight. And we have mounted bands.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yes, sir drum major off the front with his saber
beaten time. Twenty eight men on horseback blowing horns, and
a big old white drum horse.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Was killed, drums big as a keg of beer.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Quite a sight nowadays, Well, well, let's still cavalry, even
if we do have our own feet. But I still
kind of miss them horses. I met this seamers daily
when I first joined up for the old outfit. I'd
been in the war, and when they munched a thousand
(05:08):
sixty five, I pulled around home for a while, and
then I got kind of restless, so I just up
and left, went out west and took on another blanket.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Like the saying was. They put me into.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The seventh Cavalry, A troop a company. I mean, that
was where I first got to know this Shamer's daily.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He was guy done of a company. Oh yeah, the
guy donned the fella the carrier. The both called guy.
Don I remember the night.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was sitting on a barrack's porch, all go on
a plant for gut for a post that was there
had been so many.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Do you rustle maybe your lambi or somewher.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You know, I was sitting there smoking this QM cigar
and the dark all by my little sumbler, and I
hear this whizerland Garry or well, so I think that
I can't be mean nobody but Sergeant Seamers Daily.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Then Sergeant Chambers Daily has been.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
At a bottle summers on account of you don't whistle
Garry unless he says.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So he stuts the front of the porch, and I'd say,
in the dark.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Dago Sargant Daily, and who let me me no Welman
the trumpet, Well, it's a fine knife for a trump
of the wellman by night, for Wat Sargeant, Well, for
y whatever you'd be wanting to do, Oh for having
to gop de fader if you had the inclination like well, now.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
If anybody s to offer me your little stuff of
some fine nonanga, he a rise, sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Own breaker. Wellman.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know that a non commissioned officer is forbid by
regulations to drink with a private.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Soldier if I'm a trump of the sergeant. Oh ho,

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Been through the cavalry regulations and day regulations.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Tell me feed her?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And I do not remember ever seeing anything about not
drinking with trumpet.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And besides, I was a sergeant one.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh white, Wait then comforter?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do her breath? For freed him? Unto the neck of
this bottle? Were they sergeant? Breath and order? God, it
does grasp your bite the dolls?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Now don't uh?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Did you leave anything for me? Sure? Sure? Then here
is confusion to all the enemies of the Irish.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Would you can't joined me in an other ballot?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Then now this time of night, sergeants and birds in
the guard house of awful hard have many the time
might leapt on him at Jefferson Barracks.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Now they got books. This is a very clean guide house.
I like my own book.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And then seeing you won't sing, shall we have woods?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now he was in the name properly breeze like the
Litigan caolery.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Who is he?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now? He was in the Highers the Wars from New York?
Right well, quite an outfit right here.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
No, it's alright, but they owned their farms. Was kind
of silly like red pads. Well, he told to know
that children the battle trumpeter.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Who thanks who your health? Roger or for that height?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Achi h and I he drinks to the Irish, and
there's plenty of 'em in the seventh Cavalry.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Uh what would they do for sergeants without the Irish. Yeah,
but with all the armies in the world there without
the Irish.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I just with right.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Uh, we're lost men, we are with no flag, no
no country to fight her. So we do our best
for somebody else's flags and somebody else's country. I suppose
you're a lucky man, young woman, you've got a country
in the flag of your own to fight her.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
A rapron doing what's frightened so far since the war.
And that'll come.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There's millions of Engians that he book, that don't like
the hill called white people, and that they don't come
when they'll rise up, and they might, and the air
will be so thick with arrows you could get up
and chine yourself on him.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, many a lad will do just that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And end up with his hair decorating some Augilalla books
wire belts. But so have a drink guard, sergeant, or
it's an order. Well, it's powerful like Lamb's milk. No
me buckle be not up in great big U great buckle.
(09:44):
I am a man without a flag, living with life
out in the field of u battle, fighting for a
country that's not beyond and perishing of the thoughts to
the green shords of the old side. Oh out shod,
you call me an o shod their world, Curtns. What
I said knows her son knows her a whiskey makes
(10:09):
me even mellow. The Irish are fought from many a
king against many a king. But one of my ancestors
perish at Frans Night, fighting for the King of France
with the worried Geese. And there's been an Irishman in
every war since the Trojan War, but that there's been
one of the nither side. But how could you have
an army without an Irishman?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
As you can't. I am in the cup competer. Well,
there's over powerful whiskey, sergeant.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
When irishman there is no such thing as powerful whiskey, Competer,
there is only wake men. That's so now I said
I had no flag of my own son. I'm a
harmless man farther away from the land of me birth.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And I'm a lonesome man besides, and very unhappy. Oh,
cheer up Sorg. He was just about that.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Heay that I was going to cheer company.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Computer.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I said, yes, I do have a flag to follow,
No to lead. He have another drop of the patching ladder.
I used to tell you all about it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, r go on, I said, a flag to follow, ladder.
But it it's not to follow, it's a flag to lead.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
And it it's not that great stag and price thing
to Clancy the color sageant carry. But I'm I'm not
one of you a merit of their chairs or it
is a great yellow standard that Miles Kurrigan from Calvin carries.
I graduate their very fine flag son.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But Seamus Daily.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He has his own personal flag to carry him to
lead with. I could wish that chaws and green instead
of red and white for it. Ah, But it's a
fine flag after all, and it has the symbol of
the symbol.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well what is it the symbol of trumpeter?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
H well, what's what's the symbol of Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I I'm talking about the guide on that I'm privileged
to carry my young friend, that guide on a company
a seventh Cavalry, the only flag that Shamus Dennis Michael
Bryan o'daly ever swore allegiance too.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Do you hear me? Huh you think I'm drugs?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Oh, lesson lad. There's been men died for that red
and white rag. No, they didn't die for the other ones.
The color sergeant carries them things. It's not that, not
the personal thing that the guide on his lad that
has my flag, your flag. This is Captain Tom and
you and me and that black heartedge leg of the
(12:44):
messageant and and the thousand other men that died for
it and that will die for it in all the
days to come. That's my flag, trumpeter, and that's yours.
Don't you ever leave no harm come to it. You
should have brought your fiddle, sergeanty They giving me say,
I he didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
See the captain in the darkness.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I I I was just just fucking with the trumpeter.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Here he's drunk. Captain, I see you're not. But you
better go on into bed before there somebody that doesn't
know any better comes along.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, uh, yes, sir, yes, sir, good night now here,
God bless me head and especially comfort the air.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Sir, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Boys, we're going to need all the blessings we can
get for moving out into the field tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Go to bed.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Now there's call the quarters. So we went out into
the field. Then we stayed there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yes, see how I feel about the Indians. I don't
know bos the ways.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
They got a raw deal, I suppose, but they haven't
got much time to think about that when you're dodging
arrows and flow rugs from forty five seventy winchesters, and
when you ride up to a place where the buzzards
they're sailing around overhead, and you see what the engines did.
There was a fether that slept next to you in barracks,
and you don't think about it at all. New recruits
(14:16):
come out to us from JB or Fort Hayes all
the time to fill up the empty spots in the
mustard roll that the engines made. In a couple of years,
there wasn't very many of us old timers left in
a company.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Captain Tom Shambers me does nothing, and every once in
a while I think about what Seamless has said about
our guide.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I was beginning to understand how he felt about it,
deep down in his Irish so he never said anything
about it, uh, only just once. You see, it wasn't
Indian fighting all the time. Sometimes that the periods and
we could go hunting maybe, or fishing if there was
a trout stream not too far away.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Never one man alone, never less than two. We carry
had our revolvers and.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Our carbines and the full practice saddle. This time Seamous
spoke of it again. We'd been out for two days,
the two of us, hoping we'd find a deer, but
we didn't. We didn't care too much. We'd had a
good time away from the post, and we were within
a mile of the gate, riding along with that good
(15:21):
tired feeling a man has after a joint like this,
hand over the shot, and I looked around and shameless
as I'm the crowd. Well, I don't wanna tell you
about the next few minutes. If you've never had anything
(15:44):
like that happen to you, just be.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Thankful I'm not telling you. And if you have, you
know all about it. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
What I want to tell you about into the talk
we had Shamus and they were here was by now
would go over and leave me, nor of course I
won't seem.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He don't want him to get me hair and he
don't have to get mine first that lay? Did you
see him a child? Yeh yeh were any soul in sight?
I had there watching? Uh where so my h? None
of that? U my younger he lit left? Huh yes, yes,
(16:29):
there there's only a other role. I wudn't get time
to drink much more hair boy? Oh good night? No, no,
wait what I remember?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
No time a dog we talked about guide on him?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yes, yes, I remember, uh lesson Uh put guyd on on?
Might you have what I'd give him? Money in life? Flag?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Flag? I ever had a drink? Sure? I think the
guy had a empty a flag might in monument? Now
you are black afraid him? No? You know? Hide the
(17:27):
water plants drink alright, don't forget what I do' you
and I don't beat you filled his green n nobody
drink or hat nor brave the one the name uh
(17:55):
your name? Ah? And they heard the guns from the post,
and the patrol.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Came out and got us, and seven or eight more
engines went to that happy haunting ground of theirs.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Too well.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I kept my word to seamous daily I couldn't put
the troop guy down on his grave, but I did
go to the artificer and had to make a little
wooden guy down, a little swallow tail, red and white
splag and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
A little lace pole. We put a seven and the
A on.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It and Seamus's name after the detail that fired the
three rounds, and Kim Bullen counted tat I wanted to,
but I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
After that, I put the little guy down that him
meant so much to him that they had of his graves,
And it was a.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Funny thing, you know, it started as a thing in
the regiments. Well, shamous wasn't the only.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Seventh caveryman at tied those days, and some of 'em
were buried way out on the yellow hills along the water,
all the little canyons. But there wasn't a gray that
wasn't marked for the little.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Red and white guy. Done. Yes, there was quite a
number of 'em. And I wonder what the coyotes and
the frairie dogs thought.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wonder if there's any of those guy that was left
anywhere that was better than seventy years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I guess they're not. Well. Captain Tom he made me
guide on him.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I'd nonever thought so much about it before, I suppose,
But you'd be surprised what that.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Guy down meant to me? Or would you? Oh? I
know it's the fashion to cry down soldiers, sure always
is right after a war. But oh, soldiers, ain't that people?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Seamus Daily, Captain Tom the old man, Yeah, that guy
down was pretty important to me.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Seamus said men had died for it. He died for it.
They said men would die for it. That was true
to men.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Always have to have something to follow to believe him.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Uh guy don yeh?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Anyway, like Captain Tom said, I ought to have run
my fiddle. Captain Tom, him and me, we got to
be pretty good friends. He was no officer to impose
him enlist the band's time.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He was all business.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
He was the kind of officer that eh, soldiers dream about. Strict,
but a company had better than any other company in
the squad. Tough, but leave one of his troopers get
sick or something. And Captain Thomas, like his father and
mother put together. He used to like to walk around him.
And even after tattoo.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Sometimes I'd see him down ound the stable the summers,
and you know he'd stop and talk.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
He was always done at chew of eating the backer.
I remember that one night, give it to chow sergeant. Yes, sir,
I gotta buy you a plug one of these days. Uh,
you don't use that much, captain? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Uh fine? I eh? Yes? Or s so? Uh would
the captain put in for a new wife support for
the guard?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What the matter with the one you got?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Well, sir, it's kind of walked a little bit, and
well it intern to look kind of uh you know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Jews like he'h as bad as shameless daily used to
be with that guide on. Uh. Well, I I.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Mean to be captain for as Shamus. I had a
great regard for that man, me too, sir, Well, I
address is so he's better off than we are, Sir,
I'm supposed to if ever a man went straight to
Fiddler's Green, shameless is the man, sir same as said.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Something about buying me a drinking Fiddler's Green. I never
heard that expression before him. Well I'm a meaner never since.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That, you'll know you've heard of Fiddler's Green. Mostly is
that a Lyrish saying for heaven? Nos I din't and
no is he good?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Cavalrymen don't wanna go to heaven cause they won't find
any of their friends there, And they don't wanna go
to the other place because they've.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Had too much of that on Earth.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
So there's a very special place right in between the
two that's for good cavalry and only, and that's Fiddler's Green.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That's where Seamous of prevents her.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yes, sir, all the good cavalrymen from the day the
world began now in Fiddler's Green, the Roman catafracts of
Julius Caesar, King Arthur and his knights, the cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And around her, and Seamous showers shooting her. Yeah, I
believe that. Well, I hope I make it.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You'll take care of that guy down, boy, you will
high interest her. Well, thanks for the child walk. Oh see,
Oh I wanna take a little trip. Yes, sir, you
know my brother.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Is coming out to command the regiment, didn't y? Yes,
So I heard that. Well, I say, guy, you ought
to send an escort out to bring him.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Long as I am senior officer present with troops, so
you can take a detail of men for the troop
and go pick him.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Up and bring him back. Huh, Yes, for sure, but
not you.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You start mid night after retreat, make a couple of
days and a couple of days coming back. Sir, h
I had them one of my quarters after breakfast to
mine and I'll give you the detail.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Just uh I, sergeant, who.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I to.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I can remember that date, justice claim the twenty first
of June eighteen seventy five. I took my detail and
we rode over the land of the railroad. Him up
a new commanding officer. I apologize for not being an officer,
but I said Captain Tom didn't have enough officers, so
it went the general pard from me too, so he laughed.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
He was a great, big, jolly fella, looked.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Just like his brother Tom, big mustache, same yellow hair.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
That's then he says.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That said, all right, sergeant, after I get hold of
the regiment for a while, I'm going to see that
we get enough officers so my sergeants won't have to
work their heads off.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Sure be fine, sir, I sure will. After General's ready
to go, sir, move out and uh uh.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Oh shut you oh.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
R.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All the way along. You got to ask him questions about.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
The Indians, about casualties, about the chance of one big
campaign against them, finishing up and killing him Ruther and
once and for all.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
He sure was anxious to make a good choice, and
he knew his business.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He was so laugh to get into.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The open after being in them posts back east for
so long. He ask me a million questions about engine fighting,
and I answered them best I could.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I says, getting to be quite a veteran in myself.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
See, and anybody that followed the captain Thomas, you have
to be a veteran awful fast anyway. So he had
some pretty good talk and then uh, second morning out
on the way back, we had some breakfast.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
He was just outling up. The general calls me over
to him. I yeah, sir, I walked out up down
on the side of that hill where sir, uh right
over there? Let you see.

Silver rings on a LANDFALLO named the places and graved
on 'em, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvani all in places and some
new ones. Some are lady And it looks fine, but
it ain't the right one. It ain't the old silk
whting a battle guy down. That's the one I lost
for him, and I'm paying for its.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Tain't that you know the saying in the army, whatever
you lose, you gonna find.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It on the payroll. Tain't that I'm paying for a difference.
And I walk into Fiddler's Green once.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Twice the year, and first thing, some fella hollers appen.
You get out of here, Noah, Well, when.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You're the fella lost eight troops guy done, And that
three whiskey there in the bar looks awful good to me,
But I wiped my mouth on my sleeves.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Turn around and go out again.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Change out of my old blue uniform with the white
yellow stripes on my birch's legs and my upside down
sergeant's stripes, and I.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Put on g I copon and pick up my rifle
and my.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ain't that go back to a troop rifle and banner.
Imagine the Calvertyman with a banner, well else you can
imagine the Covertyman without no horse. I guess you can
imagine a banner too.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
They won't leave me in the Fiddler's Green, but that
once in a while somebody will stop me as I'm leaving.
Maybe it'll be shameless daily that was the guy done
before me, And you'll say kind of homesake, hay and a.
You'll say the band's still playing Garry Owen in the
old outfit, And I'll say, you bet your life seamless
when they don't play garyol no more, they won't be
(02:37):
those in the cavalry seamous. He kind of grins and
he slifts me a half pint of that my non
gee heel awrye and I come away, And maybe there's
a maybe there's a little niff in the bottle for
some of the other boys that's in the scene fixed.
I mean, and I walk along the ways of the
other fellas, and most generally we meet the old man.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He'll be walking along slow in his spurs, changing them
big Mexican.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Spurs they always worn, and then we'll snap it up
and throw 'em a big sellows he's grand Addison Hower.
Howdy boys, we'll say, holly sir, and you walk on
slow down towards Fiddler's Greens, and we'll feel worse than
ever cause the old man he can't get in the
(03:29):
Fiddler's Green either.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know, Maybe I ought to tell you about
this guy Downe. Huh. You know what a guy Downe
is now?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's uh kind of little swallow tail flag. Nowadays, every
outfit in the army has one company flag, you know,
all colors. Even the MP's they got one that yell
and green. But there was a day when nobody but
Calvalry had a guy done red and white.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Top half red, regiment's number.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
In white blower half white with a troop letter and
red like seven a eight troop, seventh Cavalry. Only when
I first enlisted. They still call them companies, just like
in the dough Boys.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, it's quite a while to go the troop.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Uh, the company of cavalry was quite a sighting the
days old red and white.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Guy down crackling away in the wind.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Sixty three men in blue suits through their sabers, flashing.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
In the sunlight. And we have mounted bands.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yes, sir drum major off the front with his saber
beaten time. Twenty eight men on horseback blowing horns, and
a big old white drum horse.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Was killed, drums big as a keg of beer.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Quite a sight nowadays, Well, well, let's still cavalry, even
if we do have our own feet. But I still
kind of miss them horses. I met this seamers daily
when I first joined up for the old outfit. I'd
been in the war, and when they munched a thousand
(05:08):
sixty five, I pulled around home for a while, and
then I got kind of restless, so I just up
and left, went out west and took on another blanket.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Like the saying was. They put me into.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The seventh Cavalry, A troop a company. I mean, that
was where I first got to know this Shamer's daily.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He was guy done of a company. Oh yeah, the
guy donned the fella the carrier. The both called guy.
Don I remember the night.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was sitting on a barrack's porch, all go on
a plant for gut for a post that was there
had been so many.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Do you rustle maybe your lambi or somewher.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You know, I was sitting there smoking this QM cigar
and the dark all by my little sumbler, and I
hear this whizerland Garry or well, so I think that
I can't be mean nobody but Sergeant Seamers Daily.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Then Sergeant Chambers Daily has been.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
At a bottle summers on account of you don't whistle
Garry unless he says.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So he stuts the front of the porch, and I'd say,
in the dark.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Dago Sargant Daily, and who let me me no Welman
the trumpet, Well, it's a fine knife for a trump
of the wellman by night, for Wat Sargeant, Well, for
y whatever you'd be wanting to do, Oh for having
to gop de fader if you had the inclination like well, now.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
If anybody s to offer me your little stuff of
some fine nonanga, he a rise, sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Own breaker. Wellman.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know that a non commissioned officer is forbid by
regulations to drink with a private.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Soldier if I'm a trump of the sergeant. Oh ho,
where now I've.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Been through the cavalry regulations and day regulations.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Tell me feed her?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And I do not remember ever seeing anything about not
drinking with trumpet.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And besides, I was a sergeant one.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh white, Wait then comforter?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do her breath? For freed him? Unto the neck of
this bottle? Were they sergeant? Breath and order? God, it
does grasp your bite the dolls?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Now don't uh?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Did you leave anything for me? Sure? Sure? Then here
is confusion to all the enemies of the Irish.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Would you can't joined me in an other ballot?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Then now this time of night, sergeants and birds in
the guard house of awful hard have many the time
might leapt on him at Jefferson Barracks.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Now they got books. This is a very clean guide house.
I like my own book.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
And then seeing you won't sing, shall we have woods?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now he was in the name properly breeze like the
Litigan caolery.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Who is he?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Now? He was in the Highers the Wars from New York?
Right well, quite an outfit right here.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
No, it's alright, but they owned their farms. Was kind
of silly like red pads. Well, he told to know
that children the battle trumpeter.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Who thanks who your health? Roger or for that height?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Achi h and I he drinks to the Irish, and
there's plenty of 'em in the seventh Cavalry.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Uh what would they do for sergeants without the Irish. Yeah,
but with all the armies in the world there without
the Irish.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I just with right.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Uh, we're lost men, we are with no flag, no
no country to fight her. So we do our best
for somebody else's flags and somebody else's country. I suppose
you're a lucky man, young woman, you've got a country
in the flag of your own to fight her.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
A rapron doing what's frightened so far since the war.
And that'll come.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There's millions of Engians that he book, that don't like
the hill called white people, and that they don't come
when they'll rise up, and they might, and the air
will be so thick with arrows you could get up
and chine yourself on him.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, many a lad will do just that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And end up with his hair decorating some Augilalla books
wire belts. But so have a drink guard, sergeant, or
it's an order. Well, it's powerful like Lamb's milk. No
me buckle be not up in great big U great buckle.
(09:44):
I am a man without a flag, living with life
out in the field of u battle, fighting for a
country that's not beyond and perishing of the thoughts to
the green shords of the old side. Oh out shod,
you call me an o shod their world, Curtns. What
I said knows her son knows her a whiskey makes
(10:09):
me even mellow. The Irish are fought from many a
king against many a king. But one of my ancestors
perish at Frans Night, fighting for the King of France
with the worried Geese. And there's been an Irishman in
every war since the Trojan War, but that there's been
one of the nither side. But how could you have
an army without an Irishman?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
As you can't. I am in the cup competer. Well,
there's over powerful whiskey, sergeant.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
When irishman there is no such thing as powerful whiskey, Competer,
there is only wake men. That's so now I said
I had no flag of my own son. I'm a
harmless man farther away from the land of me birth.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And I'm a lonesome man besides, and very unhappy. Oh,
cheer up Sorg. He was just about that.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Heay that I was going to cheer company.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Computer.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I said, yes, I do have a flag to follow,
No to lead. He have another drop of the patching ladder.
I used to tell you all about it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, r go on, I said, a flag to follow, ladder.
But it it's not to follow, it's a flag to lead.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
And it it's not that great stag and price thing
to Clancy the color sageant carry. But I'm I'm not
one of you a merit of their chairs or it
is a great yellow standard that Miles Kurrigan from Calvin carries.
I graduate their very fine flag son.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But Seamus Daily.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He has his own personal flag to carry him to
lead with. I could wish that chaws and green instead
of red and white for it. Ah, But it's a
fine flag after all, and it has the symbol of
the symbol.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well what is it the symbol of trumpeter?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
H well, what's what's the symbol of Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I I'm talking about the guide on that I'm privileged
to carry my young friend, that guide on a company
a seventh Cavalry, the only flag that Shamus Dennis Michael
Bryan o'daly ever swore allegiance too.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Do you hear me? Huh you think I'm drugs?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Oh, lesson lad. There's been men died for that red
and white rag. No, they didn't die for the other ones.
The color sergeant carries them things. It's not that, not
the personal thing that the guide on his lad that
has my flag, your flag. This is Captain Tom and
you and me and that black heartedge leg of the
(12:44):
messageant and and the thousand other men that died for
it and that will die for it in all the
days to come. That's my flag, trumpeter, and that's yours.
Don't you ever leave no harm come to it. You
should have brought your fiddle, sergeanty They giving me say,
I he didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
See the captain in the darkness.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I I I was just just fucking with the trumpeter.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Here he's drunk. Captain, I see you're not. But you
better go on into bed before there somebody that doesn't
know any better comes along.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, uh, yes, sir, yes, sir, good night now here,
God bless me head and especially comfort the air.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Sir, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Boys, we're going to need all the blessings we can
get for moving out into the field tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Go to bed.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Now there's call the quarters. So we went out into
the field. Then we stayed there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yes, see how I feel about the Indians. I don't
know bos the ways.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
They got a raw deal, I suppose, but they haven't
got much time to think about that when you're dodging
arrows and flow rugs from forty five seventy winchesters, and
when you ride up to a place where the buzzards
they're sailing around overhead, and you see what the engines did.
There was a fether that slept next to you in barracks,
and you don't think about it at all. New recruits
(14:16):
come out to us from JB or Fort Hayes all
the time to fill up the empty spots in the
mustard roll that the engines made. In a couple of years,
there wasn't very many of us old timers left in
a company.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Captain Tom Shambers me does nothing, and every once in
a while I think about what Seamless has said about
our guide.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I was beginning to understand how he felt about it,
deep down in his Irish so he never said anything
about it, uh, only just once. You see, it wasn't
Indian fighting all the time. Sometimes that the periods and
we could go hunting maybe, or fishing if there was
a trout stream not too far away.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Never one man alone, never less than two. We carry
had our revolvers and.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Our carbines and the full practice saddle. This time Seamous
spoke of it again. We'd been out for two days,
the two of us, hoping we'd find a deer, but
we didn't. We didn't care too much. We'd had a
good time away from the post, and we were within
a mile of the gate, riding along with that good
(15:21):
tired feeling a man has after a joint like this,
hand over the shot, and I looked around and shameless
as I'm the crowd. Well, I don't wanna tell you
about the next few minutes. If you've never had anything
(15:44):
like that happen to you, just be.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Thankful I'm not telling you. And if you have, you
know all about it. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
What I want to tell you about into the talk
we had Shamus and they were here was by now
would go over and leave me, nor of course I
won't seem.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He don't want him to get me hair and he
don't have to get mine first that lay? Did you
see him a child? Yeh yeh were any soul in sight?
I had there watching? Uh where so my h? None
of that? U my younger he lit left? Huh yes, yes,
(16:29):
there there's only a other role. I wudn't get time
to drink much more hair boy? Oh good night? No, no,
wait what I remember?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
No time a dog we talked about guide on him?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yes, yes, I remember, uh lesson Uh put guyd on on?
Might you have what I'd give him? Money in life? Flag?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Flag? I ever had a drink? Sure? I think the
guy had a empty a flag might in monument? Now
you are black afraid him? No? You know? Hide the
(17:27):
water plants drink alright, don't forget what I do' you
and I don't beat you filled his green n nobody
drink or hat nor brave the one the name uh
(17:55):
your name? Ah? And they heard the guns from the post,
and the patrol.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Came out and got us, and seven or eight more
engines went to that happy haunting ground of theirs.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Too well.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I kept my word to seamous daily I couldn't put
the troop guy down on his grave, but I did
go to the artificer and had to make a little
wooden guy down, a little swallow tail, red and white
splag and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
A little lace pole. We put a seven and the
A on.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It and Seamus's name after the detail that fired the
three rounds, and Kim Bullen counted tat I wanted to,
but I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
After that, I put the little guy down that him
meant so much to him that they had of his graves,
And it was a.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Funny thing, you know, it started as a thing in
the regiments. Well, shamous wasn't the only.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Seventh caveryman at tied those days, and some of 'em
were buried way out on the yellow hills along the water,
all the little canyons. But there wasn't a gray that
wasn't marked for the little.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Red and white guy. Done. Yes, there was quite a
number of 'em. And I wonder what the coyotes and
the frairie dogs thought.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wonder if there's any of those guy that was left
anywhere that was better than seventy years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I guess they're not. Well. Captain Tom he made me
guide on him.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I'd nonever thought so much about it before, I suppose,
But you'd be surprised what that.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Guy down meant to me? Or would you? Oh? I
know it's the fashion to cry down soldiers, sure always
is right after a war. But oh, soldiers, ain't that people?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You know?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Seamus Daily, Captain Tom the old man, Yeah, that guy
down was pretty important to me.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Seamus said men had died for it. He died for it.
They said men would die for it. That was true
to men.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Always have to have something to follow to believe him.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Uh guy don yeh?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Anyway, like Captain Tom said, I ought to have run
my fiddle. Captain Tom, him and me, we got to
be pretty good friends. He was no officer to impose
him enlist the band's time.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He was all business.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
He was the kind of officer that eh, soldiers dream about. Strict,
but a company had better than any other company in
the squad. Tough, but leave one of his troopers get
sick or something. And Captain Thomas, like his father and
mother put together. He used to like to walk around him.
And even after tattoo.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Sometimes I'd see him down ound the stable the summers,
and you know he'd stop and talk.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
He was always done at chew of eating the backer.
I remember that one night, give it to chow sergeant. Yes, sir,
I gotta buy you a plug one of these days. Uh,
you don't use that much, captain? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Uh fine? I eh? Yes? Or s so? Uh would
the captain put in for a new wife support for
the guard?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What the matter with the one you got?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Well, sir, it's kind of walked a little bit, and
well it intern to look kind of uh you know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Jews like he'h as bad as shameless daily used to
be with that guide on. Uh. Well, I I.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Mean to be captain for as Shamus. I had a
great regard for that man, me too, sir, Well, I
address is so he's better off than we are, Sir,
I'm supposed to if ever a man went straight to
Fiddler's Green, shameless is the man, sir same as said.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Something about buying me a drinking Fiddler's Green. I never
heard that expression before him. Well I'm a meaner never since.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
That, you'll know you've heard of Fiddler's Green. Mostly is
that a Lyrish saying for heaven? Nos I din't and
no is he good?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Cavalrymen don't wanna go to heaven cause they won't find
any of their friends there, And they don't wanna go
to the other place because they've.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Had too much of that on Earth.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
So there's a very special place right in between the
two that's for good cavalry and only, and that's Fiddler's Green.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That's where Seamous of prevents her.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yes, sir, all the good cavalrymen from the day the
world began now in Fiddler's Green, the Roman catafracts of
Julius Caesar, King Arthur and his knights, the cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And around her, and Seamous showers shooting her. Yeah, I
believe that. Well, I hope I make it.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You'll take care of that guy down, boy, you will
high interest her. Well, thanks for the child walk. Oh see,
Oh I wanna take a little trip. Yes, sir, you
know my brother.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Is coming out to command the regiment, didn't y? Yes,
So I heard that. Well, I say, guy, you ought
to send an escort out to bring him.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Long as I am senior officer present with troops, so
you can take a detail of men for the troop
and go pick him.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Up and bring him back. Huh, Yes, for sure, but
not you.

the regiment for a while, I'm going to see that
we get enough officers so my sergeants won't have to
work their heads off.
