and she courting her banner White,Orange *Green.

A bold english sargent being passing the way.
He spied this fair maid and her banner so gay.
he watched and he looked and jumped from his machine.
Intending to capture the flag of "sinn féin".

Will you give me your banner

If you give me your banner
you'll do what is wise.
If you give me your banner you'll do nothing mean
but to render your colours
White, Orange and Green.(continues on next page)
