Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire-land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannon's cry and rifle's peal,
We'll chant a Soldier's Song! |  |
