- At Derry, Aughrim, and the Boyne
Our fathers long ago
In freedom's cause united stood
Against the tyrant foe.
And oft on many a blood-stained field,
Beneath their banner blue,
Like heroes brave they nobly fought,
And did their foes subdue.Chorus
Hurrah for Ulster's noble sons
The bravest of the brave!
Long may the guard their sacred (___?)
On land and stormy wave;
And though the foe against us rise
With sword and ringing cheers.
Quick right about, they'll get the rout
From the Ulster Volunteers.Shall we with Lord Dunraven be
False to Brittania's flag;
Or with Mac Donnell bow the knee
At Rome's dark deadly crag.
No, No! away with craven schemes
We meet with scorns and sneers;
Once more we'll join and cross the Boyne
With the Ulster Volunteers.(continues on next page)- Informant
