1. The Broad, Broad Way

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   1. We need a school for diplomats in Erin.
   Where prompt and vigorous action can be taught
   Whose pupils when the dawn of freedom’s nearing
   Will know to strike the iron while its hot.
   For lack of such, our people have decided
   To leave the path that leads to freedom. Nay
   By faction, fraud, and jealousy divided
   They drift along the broad, broad way.

   2. What say you now, you wise negotiators,
   What of your boasted “Treaty” with the foe?
   Have we been empty envious agitators
   When we proclaimed it as a fraud! No! No!
   Your selling of Tyrone and ancient Derry
   And broad Fermanagh’s soil a debt to pay
   You never owed, is but another gerrymander down the broad, broad way.

   3. The Saxon, who has robbed our land for ages
   Avers we owe him many millions still
   You owe him much, oh, land of saints and sages
   But not in gold, his itching palm to fill.
   The pitch cap, gallows, vilest outrage, sorrow
   The blood of martyrs shed e’en yesterday
   For these you owe him, could your sons tomorrow
   Be taught to leave the broad, broad way.

   4. The mongrel race he planted in out sireland
   Make take his hand and deem it no disgrace
   You, who were hunted to the bogs and mireland
   Go, flaunt your flag of freedom in his face
   And tell him that you’ll shake his vile hand never!
   The one just debt you owe him, you will pay
   And you mean to do it now, once and forever
   And do it in the good old way.
