  1. Three Cheers for the Green, White and Gold

    Share Share Post
    Give three cheers for the brave brothers Pearse
    Give three cheers for young Irishmen so bold
    Give three cheers for McBride and McDonagh
    And three more for the green white and gold.
    Our rifles they were on the ocean
    They were coming from Germany we're told
    And we're giving John Bull the last warning
    To beware of the green white and gold
    Remember our heroes in Dublin
    Who were exiled and murdered for their fame
    In trying to expel the invaders
    Who have robbed us of country and name.
