   I
   You gallant sons '98 I pray you lend an air
   I'll sing to you of my Irish boys form Forth and Shelmalire
   Who fought and fell so truly and died in streams of gore
   For us to see ould Ireland free an' the green flag floating o'er

   Chorus:-
   Both young and old where'er you roam
   Remember the great wolfe lome
   In whose grand array come see to-day
   At the laying of the stone

   II
   Both young and old from everywhere , from town and country assemble in your thousands this foundation stone to see.
   it's in memory of our heroes who for this country died.
   And true men like you remember them with pride.

   Chorus:

   III
   Cheer uh your hearts my Wexford boys no matter where you roam.
