And when I sent to cast my vote, I hardly could get in,
With the rush of Brazils motor and Dick the whipper in,
And when they asked me for my vote "Oh" how could I refuse,
When I looked at private Bannon with the buckels on his shoes.

So now my boy, I will conclude as I have no more to say,
God grant that we may live to see the next election day,
When O'Connor an McGuiness will be forward in the fight,
To uplift the flag of freedom and gain our Irish rights,
Oh then I'll go and cast my vote, oh how could I refuse,
When I think of private Bannon with the buckels on his shoes.
