RELUCTANT PATRIOT, THE 
"Oh Paddy dear, and did hear the awful things they say? Princess Margret and Lord Snowden, they have joined the IRA They are drilling in the mountains to the sounds of fife and drum Young Tony's taking snapshots while young Maggie fires the gun!" While young Maggie fires the gun, while young Maggie fires the gun Young Tony's taking snapshots while young Maggie fires the gun

By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon For we must reach dear ould Ireland by the rising of the moon
