Came in the captain's daughter, the captain of the yeos
Saying brave united Irishmen, we'll ne'er again be foes
A thousand pounds I give you and fly from home with ye
And dress myself in man's attire and fight for liberty
cho: We are the boys of Wexford, who fight with heart and hand
To break in twain, the galling chain and free our native land
|
And when we left the cabin boys, we left in right good will
To see our friends and neighbors, who were at Vinegar Hill
A young man from out ranks boys, a cannon he let go
And slapped it into Lord Mountjoy, a tyrant he laid low
|
