    To celebrate their day
    Their bands and banners took.
    In memory of the 98's
    Who died round Ballinamuck.
    6
    I saw the lovely stars and stripes
    Wave proudly overhead.
    Where fifty thousand did unite
    To venerate the dead.
    But that the flag of freedom shone
    For fortune I must look
    So Ill Bid good bye to Erins Isle
    And my friends round Ballinamuck.

    Come on ye Roman Catholics.
    That stand on level ground.
    Let Luther breed or Calvin's seed never cut you down.
