    The Republic Rallying Song
    Come rallying to the call
    From Cork to Donegal
    And drive the Blueshirts into
    holes and corners
    Then let out motto be to set old
    Ireland free
    From the clutches of the
    traitors and informers,
    Who sold old Ireland's cause
    And up-held vile British laws
    That shot and banished Eirn's
    bravest sons
    But the time will come to pass
    When all traitors, like the grass
    Shall be cut down by our
    fighting soldiers guns.
    II
    Hearken Belfast to the call
    We have Cork and Donegal
    And all the rest to join us in
    the chorus
    For our flag has been unrolled
    The green, white, and gold
