   He brought them to an ale house
   And called for drink go leor
   I am sure such entertainment they never got before
   But when he thought he had them drunk
   He this to them did say
   "Your listed know as soldiers to defend your country".
   They looked at one another and one of our heroes said
   "Twas not to list that we came here the four were not afraid
   But to work for a livelihood as many did before
   That we have emigrated from that lovely shamrock shore".
   Twelve yankees came in, in soldier's dress withouth delay
   And says "Me boys you can't resist with us you must come away
   For this one of our officers has listed you complete
   You must not strive for to resist no longer will we wait
   The Irish blood began to rise which made the Yankees frown
   As fast as they could strike a blow they knocked the soldiers down, The officer and all his men they left them in crimson gone and they proved themselves St Patrick's sons from of Columba's shore. The Officer and all his men in carts were drawn away
   with bloody heads and broken bones, they will mind for evermore.
   The sprig of sweet hilleah? that came from Paddy's short
   before I do conclude these lines let young and old unite to offer up a fervent prayer both morning noon and night.
   Hopes the Lord will protect your friends and those that's far away and keep them from all danger while in America.
