    For the last ten years he's planning
    How to grab the widow's farm
    The crow-bar brigade has landed
    So he means to do the harm
    He spouts of truth and honesty.
    Nationality is his cry.
    Till he turns out seven women.
    on the road side to die.
    So now my gallant Irishmen
    Its time ye'd fall in line
    And raise aloft that standard
    That was raised in '79.
    For to defend our hearths and homes.
    Against evictions base and wile
    And let the yankee dudle know
    He must have our Irish soil.
