W: W:Oh, come let me hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell, W:When you thought him well and truly persecuted, W:Where are the sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear W:When our heroes of sixteen were executed. W: W:Chorus W: W:Oh, come tell us how you slew those old Arabs two by two W:Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, W:How you bravely faced each one with your sixteen pounder gun W:And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow. W: W:Chorus W: W:Now the day is coming fast and the time is here at last, W:When each yeoman will be cast aside before us, W:And if there be a need sure our kids will sing, "Godspeed" W:With a verse or two of Stephen Behan's chorus. W: W:Chorus
