  1. Ballad of the Land League Boys

    Share Share Post
    Long life to Captain Hayden
    That man both mild and keen
    He called in all the band boys and dressed them all in green
    Their medals bright like stars by night
    He paid without a frown
    And said "Hooray" ye Land League boys
    "We'll keep that Land-Lord down"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
