I. OLd James with his Rascally Rabble of Rogues, he drew up his Army pretending to stand; But as they march'd they must trust to their Brogues, the Dee'l take the hindmost was his Command: He had a Ditty he mumbl'd along, it went in the Tune of Lilli borlero ; But we will follow them close with a Song of March, Boys, march, Boys, Tan ta ra ra ro: March Boys, march Boys, merry, merry march, Boys, Teague' s but a Mushrom to a Man, Boys, See how they fly, how they run, how they dye, whilest Conquering William leads us on, Boys. II. Thus Teague with his Loyalty, Mettle, and Pride, Resolves to maintain his Natural Prince; Who the Plague blames him so nearly Ally'd, in Truth, Religion, Wit, and Sence; He quits his Crowns, they Surrender his Towns, if he plays the Fool, they all do the same, Sir; Lose or win, or get it all again soon; thus they play the Factious-Game, Sir, Game Sir, Game Sir, Ninny, Ninny, tame Sir; see what a Monster they made thee; Shave, shave thy Pate, Drown thy Wife, Poyson Kate be Chreest and St. Patrick they've all betray'd thee. III. The Irish Nation was carry'd to Pawn, for Money, the Catholick War to maintain; As soon as King William a Sword he had drawn, his Conquering-Army redeem'd it again; Now Monsieur, Begar, he may hang himself, they scamper'd and left the whole Kingdom behind 'em, But still we will follow the Hect'ring-Elf, in France, in France, we hope to find 'em. Charge, Boys, Charge Boys, rally, rally, charge Boys, like noble Lads with warlike Thunder; Pursue them amain, in retreat they are slain, their Troops and their Ranks we'll break in sunder.
IV. Loud Cannons did roar, and the Trumpets did sound the which Warlike-Musick soon fill'd 'em with fear[,] The Devil a Teague of 'em all stood their ground, nor likewise the prodigal-Huff, Monsieur; For, like nimble Deer, they all took their flight, not only the French, but the Catholick-Tory; And still in their running they bid us Good-night, and thus brave Nassau gained glory: Sound Boys, sound Boys, let the Trumpet sound, Boys we were resolved they should restore us; Towns which we won, whilst the Catholicks run, and thus did we Conquer all before us. V. Poor Teague with a sigh and a sorrowful face, with crossing his Breast, to the Saints he did cry, In spight of Tyrconnel , his Majesties Grace, we're forc'd to the Bogs and the Mountains to fly: When none did resist we conquer'd a Dea', the greatest part of the Irish Nation; But Fait it has prov'd like a slippery Eel, we are forc'd to surrender at discretion: Nassau, Nassau, with his Valiant Army, fought and pursu'd us all together; Rather than dye, we did bid them good-bye, for our Brogues they were made of running Leather. VI. Old Jemmy our Master is scamper'd to France, and we wou'd have follow'd as fast as we could; But ere we cou'd out of the Nation advance, like sorrowful Tories we all were fool'd: Many that ventur'd to fight were Kill'd, but, for my own part, I was fearful to fire: Be Chreest in my running I was well skill'd, and therefore in time I did retire: Charge Boys, charge Boys, still they follow'd, Charge, Boys, fearful I was that they wou'd find me; But as I run, I did throw down my Gun, and never so much as look'd behind me.
