OUR GALLANT HOME DEFENDERS
The soldier boys o’ Seestu Toon,
Fof honour bright, the Queen and Croon,
Shouther tae shouther, blithe and gay,
To Dublin town have marched away.
Chorus:-
Hip, hip, hooray! Our gallant boys
They fear no foes, wild battle noise
Wi’ pipes and drum, bayonet and gun,
They soon shall make the enemy run.
Our bonnie lassies, dark and fair,
Doon in the mou’ maist in des[air,
Sobbing sae lood, were heard tae cry,
“Tommy, ma boy, goodbye, goodbye!”
Our gallant boys, sae brave and bold,
Are really worth their weight in gold,
Safe at home or in tented field,
They aye can dance the Scottish reel.
