    I hope that we will live to see
    All heresy cut down
    That our Fenian boys can whet their pikes
    On every orange bone.
    We are the boys who will show them sport
    All with our Papist steel
    We will, be revenged of 98
    And dearly love the green.
    At the gates of Hell stands Belzebob
    For to let in Luther's flock
    It is night and day they'e going that way
    Forever there to stop.
    It is when no Papist need apply
    Or even show their face.
    For it was on this world our freedom fell
    God mark them with his grace.
    Hats off three cheers for the Shelmaliers
    And for Father Murphy too
    Not forgetting Father Dwyer
    That was stationed in Carnew
    Who first pulled down their orange flag
    So glorious to be seen
    When our Fenian boys mentained their cause
    And raised the Irish Green
