Song (continued)
“Tis the Green- oh the Green 'tis the colour of the true”
(continued from previous page)we did disturb,
At Limerick and Thurles - Blackwater and Benburb;
And ask this proud Saxon if our blows he did enjoy,
When we met him on the battlefield of France, - at Fontenoy,
Then we'll up for the green boys, and up for the green,
Oh, 'tis still in the dust, and a shame to be seen;
But we've hearts and we've hands boys full strong enough I ween,
To rescue and to raise again our own immortal green.
