   He we have the Great Prince George
   May fortune on him smile
   Close followed by St. Patrick
   The Patron of Our Isle
   The Great Napoleon next steps in
   The conqueror of renown
   Close followed by Lord Wellington
   Who swears he'll pull him down
   The Emperor of Russia next steps in
   A monarch of Great fame
   Close followed by the Grand Signor
   Most terrible for the name
   The learned Doctor next steps in
   To him our praise is due
   And next Steps in Lord Nelson
   The great admiral of the Blue.
   Next the Polish King by name
   And for Julius Ceasar he'll surely merit fame
   And Alexander, he's the greatest of them all
   'Tis for our jovial merrymen
   we have them at our call.

   Here I am a Captain bold
   Who leads no rebel throng
   With a chosen band of heroes grand
   To Bannow we do belong.
