- A Genuine Irish Man
Come listen to my ditty boys
I won't detain you long
Till I introduce a stubborn fact
In the way of a verse of a song.
Chorus
I am a true imerld Irish man
I own it proud I am
I love that soil called Erin's Isle
That rears an Irish man
2
John Bull may boast of his
daring acts and victories he has won
If it was not for our Irish son
What would those heroes have done
Our men that fought with courage
They were foremost in the van
I will tell you true a water-loo
Was gained by an Irish man
Chorus
