    I love the land that gave me birth,
    'Gainst England this was sinning,
    But thanks to God I don't regret,
    To lose the saxon shilling.
    My coat when of a shining blue,
    And every button bore,
    That crown for which we often bled,
    I true stood as before.
    Tho' well I have obeyed the laws,
    And never broke the rules,
    Still I'm expelled without a cause,
    Except my Irish views.
    England may on me one day,
    Her wrathful vengeance wreak,
    But while God leaves me power to pray,
    Her wrongs I swear to speak.
    She can't me treat much worse I ween,
