Show SHE COMES TO WEAR THE GREE2J f Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear ,' The thing that's come to pass; ; Th- ueOen is ridinsr through the towns ! Behind an Irish ass. 1; And before, behind and all around His brothers may be seen. They love her Gracious Majesr Because she wears the green. Sh wears It but that Irish hearts May brave the Boer guns. To save the fame of England And the skins of England's sons. After all the wrongs they've wrought yUO, I a nd the years of death and dread, ; She only wears the "hated green" That you may wear the red. , That you may bow to Bratain now, And bear the brand of Cain, To rivet on a freeman's neck The cankered tyrant's chain. So Paddy, e'er you volunteer. Bethink you what 'twill mean-That mean-That you will be a prreater ass Than ever drew the Queen. J. F. Caplise in the Boston Flint. |
