Song
“We read in history pages of heroes”
I
We read in history pages of heroes
of great fame.
The deed they done the battle won
of how they got their name.
But the men that wrote the history
of the orange, white, and green.
But the men that died in Dublin
town in the year 1916.
Chorus
We'll get the boys from Kerry.
We'll get the boys from Clare.
Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, and some from old Kildare
We'll get the boys from a land
beyond the sea from Boston and New York.
But the boys that licked the Black and Tans are the boys from the Co. Cork.
II
We seem to be divided I really don't know why.(continues on next page)
