Up the Border, keep the | border!', is me | cry. |
Oh, then Basil you're the man to ??? orange ???
For you'll never talk to papish, fenian types.
And with Orangemen you're seen- we don't like the colour green
Up the Border, keep the border!', is me cry.
Oh, then Basil be a dear,' said the wife to me one year
To paper up the kitchen you must try.'
So I got some sticky glue, put up red, white and blue
Up the Border, keep the border!', is me cry.
Oh, then Basil, you're the man, keep our land a ??? land
And drive the fenians far across the sea
For ? they'll get none, all those croppies will lie down
Up the Border, keep the border!', is me cry.
Now I have some empty bags, I'll fill them up with fags
I'll buy them down in Dublin on the ???
And the customs men I'll hook, for me name is Basil Brugha.
Up the Border, keep the border!', is me cry.
Up the Border, keep the border!', is me cry.
