1. O! ye jolly Lads of England fair, now we are come to Kiss your hand, You'r welcome here, I vow and swear, you'r welcome to our Irish Land. 2. Was ever Nation thus divided, as poor Ireland now forlorn; But it's by K. William we must be guided, and we'll still exalt his Horn. 3. This noble Prince we'll ever own, our Royal Master for to be, He will us keep when we're a sleep, in safety both by Land and Sea. 4. Our God above who does him love, I hope e're long we all shall see: He shall his Noble Spirit move, and from our bondage set us free. 5. The Lord Montjoy that hollow Boy, after his Master he is gone; But if he us cheat, we will him meet, and make the Irish cry Oh! one. 6. O come away you English Lads, we long to see you on our shores; For these Irish Theives, they steal our beeves, and takes our Sheep, and Cey by scores. 7. Now is these Teagues a ralleying, and most of them ty'd to the Sword: And stays but till their Irish King, do give these Broganeers the word.
8. Oh! sad experience it u[s] learns, and make us know these Rogues desire, In Murthering our Wives and Bearns, and setting of our Tents on Fire. 9. But now for shame of future blame, they say they'l Fight us in the Field; O! come brave Boy let's gain a name, and let us neither stoop nor yeild. 10. The South and West, they have conquered, their strength and Castles they secure: And to the North they will break forth, except some aid we can Procure. 11. Oh! you English Lads our hearts are sore, that so much time you did prolong, Much blood is spil'd and many's Kil'd, and Teague has now fulfil'd my song. 12. These Irish Boys who now enjoys, our Riches, Treasure, and our store: That never yet was these Dear-Joys, so Cloath'd with Riches heretofore. 13. Come Germont Roe will you not goe, to get a Kiss of Jamey's Hand, For it is long since a Papist Prince, was King unto our Irish Land. 14. For Talbot rul'd these Massacers: with God above does them Restrain, Or many of our British Boys, by Teague and Rorry had been slain.
