    Are ye ready for to fight for we are the Irish Soldiers
    English Soldiers reply–
    Yes, we are ready for to fight, for to fight, for to fight.
    Yes, we are ready for to fight for we are the English Soldiers
    Then both rows say–

    Now we are in the Battle Field
    Then a mock battle takes place between the players and this finishes the game
