  1. A Song

    Attend ye gallant Irish men and listen for a while.

    A song,
    Attend ye gallant Irish men are listen for a while
    Till I sing to you the praises of the gifted man he has beaten the British soldiers and drove home the Black in Tans.
    The Flag of Freedom he has raised-the orange white and green.
    That noble battle he has won as the world now has seen.
    God Bless you DeValera.
    Your the champion of the fight.
    You struggled hard for Ireland and you made the wrong go right.
    You fought against Cosgrave gang likr wise mason scum you made the English tremble that peevish old John Bull.
    We want no half of Ireland we must have Ireland all.
    From North to South from East to West its Cork and Donegal.
    We'll not divide our island for twenty six wont do.
    With your parliament in College green youll rule the thirty two
