  1. (continued from previous page)
    That each Orange ring-leader from
    Mollie does run,
    9. By English laws our arms are
    branded,
    But we have good pikes made out
    of pure steel
    And each Orange Viper that dares
    to oppose us
    We'll teach them to dance a step
    of M'Cloud's reel.
    10. Here's a health unto "Grainne", another to "Mollie"
    Whenever she walks 'neath her
    banner of green
    May she thrive and prosper - both
    now and hearafter,
    The rights of old Ireland we'll claim
    them again.
    11. Our sons they are true and soldierly
    too.
    When called on to fight 'neath their
    banner of green,
    In the days of yore, Brian did it
    before,
    And a Dane in our country no more
    will be seen.
