Song (continued)
“All that love the shamrock”
(continued from previous page)Through out Columba's shore
A Frenchman of great honour that saw what they could do
He said I will protect you
From those yankee crumbing crew
Ill take you to a hire where I have Authority
And keep you to my service While in this country.(6)
You'd think it was a slaughter house

With bloody heads and broken bones
to remind us for evermore(7)

Let young and old unite(continues on next page)
