We're smoking and taking it lazily.
The one was broth Of boy, ed in agir
Whose cheek bones turned out and turn
His name it was Paddy O'Toole,
The other was Misther McFinnigan.
Il think of enIis,en'" says Pat,
"Because, do We see what o'clock it is
There's nothin' adoin at all
But drinkin' at Mrs. o Dochartys.
! It's not until after The war
That business times will begin again,
And figh,in's the duty of all'- nigan.
you're right sir" says Misther Mcf'in
"Bad luck to the rebels, say,
For k;ckin' up all Of this bobbery;
They call themselves gintlemen, too,
While practicln murder and robbery
Now if it's gintale for to steal,
And take all your creditors in again,
I'm glad I'm no gintleman born nigan.
you're right sir, says Msther McFin.
The spalpeens make bould to remark
Their chivairy couldn't be ruled by US
| And by the same token think us
They're ne er too smart to be fooled by
Now II It's the nagurs they name
Be chivalry, then it's sin again
To fight for cause that it black" nigin.
You're right sir, says Misther Mcl}in
"a nagur's 4 man, ye NAV say,
And aiqual to scme Of the Southerners;
But chivalry's made him brute,
And so he's monkey to orherners !;
Sure, look at the poor craturs heel,
And look at his singular shin again;
It's not for such gints that we fight gin.
"1 Gu re right sir, says Msther McElnni.
The nagur States wanted a row,
And now, be me sowl, they We got in ii :;
They We chosen bed that is hard,
However they sthriva Tor 10 cotton it.
I'm thinkin when summer comes on
They'll ali be inclined to come in agin ::
But then We must bate them at first nigin
"loure ri ght Sir, says Misther Mci'n
"Och honv but it S hard that a swato
Good .ookln' young chap like myself in,
Should lose bis ten shriings day dade
Because Of the trouble the South has
But that's just the reason ye see, male
Why should help Union to win agaiu;
It's that will bring wages once more
Your right sir, says Misther Mct'lnigin.
"Joost mind what ould England's about,
A sendin' her TROOPS into Canaday;
And all her oU|d ships on the coast
Are ripe for some treachery any day.
Now if she should mix il the war
Be jabers it makes me head spin agin
Culd ireland .0uid hare such u chance p
.Your right sir saws sNis,herlrcI,nir;n
"Gou talk about lrishmen, now,
Enlls,n' by thousands from loyalty;
But 'raH Nii the PhHHir RrigucIc

It's then with the Stars and the Stripes
All Icishmen here would 90 in again,
Your right SIR saws is,ber Mrt'in;ain
Och mnrther me blood in blaze,
10 think Of bouId Corcoran leading us
Right into the camp Of the bastes Us
Whose leeches SO long have been bleeding
The Stars and the Stripes here at home
To Canada's walls ~a would PIN again,
.Your riohts saws Nsthor McF;n;,;,
And down at the South, do We mind,
There s plenty OF lrishmen mastering,
Deluded to Gght for the wrong
BY rebel mis- statements and clustering;
But once let ouId England, their foe.
10 fight with the Union begin again,
.Ynnr r;ch, sir says Nisthsr MoE;o;,;n
"1here's n.ver an irishman born,
From blaine to the end Of Secessiondom
But longs for time and a chance
To fight for bis country in ilessian.dom;
And SO, if ould England should try
With treacherous friendship to sin agiu,
