Chorus
Three cheers for our bold Fenian boys
Forever may they reign
If they would only pull together boys
All heresy would be slain
Then let us be united
And determined in our faith
And we will cut down those that slew our friends
In the year of 98We will assemble in one body
To each other we will prove true
We will have plenty of loyal patriots
Convenient to Carnew
We will have noble Father Dwyer
Who will lead his flock complete
And it with those breech loaders
Those dam Saxons we'll defeat
We will be ready at a moment
When the signal will be gaen
For to stand up for St Peters Church
That's free from spot or stain
We will cut down those dam Tories
For us it's only sport
And we will banish all that's sprung of late
From Queen Ann's petticoat(continues on next page)
