THE IRISH GUARDS

We're not so old in the Army list,
But we're not so young at our trade,
For we had the honour at Fontenoy,
Of meeting the Guards' Brigade.
'Twas Lally, Dillon, Buckley, Clare,
And Lee that led us then,
And after a hundred and seventy years,
We're fighting for France again.

    Old Days! The wild geese are flighting
    Head to the storm as they faced it before!
    For where there are Irish there's bound to be fighting,
    And when there's no fighting, it's Ireland no more
    Ireland no more!

    Ah, France! And did we stand by you
    Then life was made splendid with gifts, and rewards?
    Ah, France! And will we deny you
    In the hour of your agony, Mother of Swords?

    Old Days! The wild geese are flighting,
    Head to the storm as they faced it before,
    For where there are Irish, there's loving and fighting,
    And when we stop either, It's Ireland no more!
    Ireland no more!
