NINETY EIGHT.
Remember, men Of sxty-six,
The country that has borne you;
You'il raise aloit that green old flag,
And carry IL before you.
The Union Jack we'll push 1t back,
And try To initiate
Those men who said their blood they'd she'd
In glorious Ninety eight.
Their memory then, may 1t be blest-
They fought 'gainst saxon kna,es;
They'd rather do or die than rest
While 1rshmen were slaves
Old Ireland then for lrishmen,
No matter what our fate;
II we're but true we'll surely do
More than in Ninety-eight
Think how the brave Lord Edward died,
How Emmett loved the cause
Thy gave their lives and nobly tried
To Danish English laws
Like them our brothers now they keep
In dungeons-what fate
Better to fight or die like those
Brave men Of Ninety-eght.
Oh Ireland shall ever see
Tiny freedom nobly wony
To strike Tor thee, oshore mdcires,
No danger would shun.
I'd mount the breach until I'd reach
The spot where I'D relate
Pulling down that flag, the British rag,
! Like those OF Ninety eight.
OBI God, I think upon the past
With pleasure mixed with pam.
How long, O Lord, IL this TO last,
Or shall we try again
To raise our land TO take her stand
A frm any state?
If It's but done our freedoms won
Remember Nincty-eight
We hear cry OF anguish
From brothers ~ of yore
Shall we leave them thus To anguish
In English prison sorer
Tho cry must be, ''ro arms now"
To meet the foeman' hate;
Our steel shall make the saxon reel
Hurrah tor Ninety-eght
