A Fenian Song Lyrics

A Fenian Song

1. The Queen's Own Regiment was their name;

   From fair Toronto town they
came

   To put the Irish all to shame -

   The Queen's and Colonel
Boker!



2. What fury fills each loyal mind!

   No volunteer
would stay behind.

   They flung their red rag to the wind -

  
"Hurrah, my boys!" said Boker.



3. Now helter skelter Ohio,

 
 See how they play that "heel and toe"!

   See how they run from their
Irish foe -

   The Queen's and Colonel Boker!
