Pete Seeger - Songs of the Lincoln Brigade: Young Man From Alcala

A Spaniard who hails from Alcala,
When angered would shout mucha mala,
lie tossed a grenade at a Moorish Brigade.
And blew all those fascists to Allah,
Yippee ai aUee ai ay.

o Ihe Lincoln Battalion by cracky.
. hunch of brave bozos though wacky,
Th ey held down the line for monlh! t al a lillH'.
'Gai1l51 Franco II Duce's lackE-Y,
Yippee ai aUee ai ay.

'Twas there on the plains of Brunetc,
': Iidst a hail of steel and confeli,
With our planes and our bomh! t w(' w . uld
: ollla: oh Franco·: o. ranks.

Got sick on Italian spaghelli,
Yippee ai aUee ai ay.

o the Lincoln boys fought at Jarama,
They made the Jascisti cry mama,
They were holding Ihe line for months at a time,
And for sp'>rt they. would play wilh a bomha,
Yippee ai aUee ai ay.

A codger from old Albacetc,
Took on 16 goats or a betta,
When asked how he f'lt. he just hitched up his belt,
And said, Ii] can't tell just as yetta,"
Yippee ai aUee ai ay.
