  1. A Rhyme

    Share Share Post
    I
    You Irishmen once more arise,
    To meet the English foe
    Remember we are descended from the men of long ago
    The men who fought for Erin's cause
    Expelled the tyrant Danes
    And raised their flag of freedom
    On Erin's hills and plains
    Chorus:-
    Then Rally round our banner boys
    And let no traitor pass
    And you will see we will chase the grabber
    From the green Fields of Kilglass
    II
    I ask you now will you allow
    This system to prevail
    To try and crush the grazer out
    Though you might "Go to Jail"
    What if you would when your cause is good
