- An Irish girl in Heart and soul
I love the dear old land
I honor those who in her cause
Left voice or pen or hand
But may I live to see her free
From foreign lord or knave
But heaven forbid I’d ever be
The mother of a slaveGod bless the men who take their stand
In Ireland’s patriot host
I’d give the youth my heart and hand
Who’d serve his country most
And if he fell I’d rather lie
Beside him in the grave
Than wed a wealthy lune
And be the mother of a slave
Than wed a wealthy lune
And be the mother of a slaveOthers on the scaffold doom
For loving Ireland died
And others to the dungeons gloom(continues on next page)- Collector
