Now when the traitors of the south commence their warlike raid,
C F C G C
I quickly laid down my hod, to the devil went me spade!
F C G
To a recruiting office , that happened to be near,
C F C G C
And joined the good old sixty-ninth like an Irish Volun teer.

When the Prince of Wales came o’er, and made a hullaba loo,
C F C G C
Oh, everybody was turned-out in gold and tinsel too;

But then the good old sixty-ninth they didn’t like lords or peers,
C F C G C
They wouldn’t give a damn for Kings, the Irish volun teers!
[Chorus]

We love the land of liberty, it’s laws we will revere,

“But the devil take the nobility!” says the Irish volun teer.

Now if the traitors in the south should ever cross our roads,
C F C G C
We’ll drive them all to blazes, as Saint Patrick did the toads,

Well give them all short nooses that come just below the ears
C F C G C
Made strong and good from Irish hemp, by Irish volun teers.

Then here’s to brave McClellan, whom the army now reveres,

He’ll lead us on to victory, say the Irish volun teers.

Now fill your glasses up, me boys, a toast come drink with me,
C F C G C
May Erin’s harp and Starry Flag united ever be;
F C G
May traitors quake, and rebels shake, and tremble in their fears,
C F C G C
When next we meet the Yankee boys, the Irish volun teers.
[Chorus]

God bless the name of Washington, that name this land reveres,
F C G C
Success to Meagher and Nugent and the Irish volun teers.
