Original: The Battle Cry of Freedom
Fenian Cry of Freedom (words by Derek Warfield)

Chorus:
Ireland the nation, Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Justice and freedom and Erin-go-bragh
The trumpet calls "to arms" boys, their swords are flashing keen
Flashing for liberty and freedom.

1.
Come join the Fenian band, boys, beneath our flag of green
Go fourth to assert your rights as freemen
Soon, as in days of yore, shall its emerald folds be seen
Floating triumphantly in Erin

Chorus...

2.
Too long you've lived as slaves, boys, or fled your native land.
Severing affections ties endearing.
Or on foreign battle fields shed your blood, a noble band,
Sighing, "Oh, would it be for Erin."
Ireland forever! Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Brave men are arming for Erin-go-bragh;
Then with the Fenian Brothers unite and take your stand,
Fighting for liberty in Erin.

3.
Pause not though cowards sneer, boys, our cause if righteous, just -
Tyrant, beware! Thy doom is nearing,
Thy boasted power and pride shall be humbled in the dust,
Vengeance awaits thee now in Erin.
Ireland and freedom! Hurrah! Boys Hurrah!
Join the avengers of Erin-go-bragh,
And God will aid the right, boys - in him alone we trust-
Marching in victory in Erin.

Chorus...
