Finally found it! More Irish, and lots of history too.

This is BigGuy's (the original FUBG's hubby.) favorite song. It's "Garryowen", NOT Gary Owen, named after a tough part of Limerick Ireland.
Sousa didn't write it, he just did the arrangement.
It has been the marching song of the 7th Cavalry since Custer first heard it and the regiment is still known as the "Garryowens".
One squadron of the 7th was "The tip of the spear" that led the charge into Baghdad, BTW. They've done better since Custer died. As BG puts it; "I TOLD him not to wear that ARROW shirt!"
BG is a Cavalry Lt.Col., US Army (See: Tanks) and must be a reincarnation of a horse soldier, I swear. When he wears his Dress Blues, saber, and spurs you can easily picture that.
First you get "Garryowen" with fifes and drums, then band. Then you get "St. Patrick's Day' which is always played with "Garryowen" by the Army bands, then back to "Garryowen".
Here are the words to "Garryowen" should you wish to sing along:
Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed.
Come join with us, each jovial blade.
Come booze and sing and lend your aid,
and join us in the chorus.
Refrain: Instead of spa (water) we'll drink brown ale
and pay the reckonin' on the nail.
No man for debt shall go to jail
from Garryowen in glory.
BG has your Yoli, Ash(leigh), and WOBG (formerly FUBG) sing this when Ash(leigh) and I visit them at the post where they are stationed, always for an appreciative audience at the Officer's Club or at a *squadron dance or banquet.
