  1. (continued from previous page)
    and the woman too in Tossey
    Never wavered in the fight
    Cheering helping ever onward
    Like a heroe in the night
    Loving Ireland with a passion
    and the party leaders all
    They will keep the green flag flying Proudly o'er Tossey hall
    Sure the cause of Ireland flourished Long beneath our own green flag and our hearts could never warn
    To a wretched Rainbow rag.
    But when the standard bearer of
    the green sends forth his urgent call
    They will find both men and women
    Waiting here in Tossey Hall.
