Song (continued)
“All that love the shamrock”
(continued from previous page)As seven of our Irish boys were going through George's street
When one of those yankee gentlemen they happened for to meet
He brought them into an ale house
And called for drinks "galore"(iiii)
And when he thought he had them drunk
He unto them did say you are listed now brave soldiers
To defend our Country.
Our Irish boys got to their feet
Which made the yankees frown
As fast as they could strike a blow
They knocked the soldiers down.(5)
The officer and all his men were left in crimson gore
They proved themselves Saint Patrick's sons.(continues on next page)
