William - Paddy And The Rats

We were sent to war

In the name of St. Patrick

The army of the Green Land,

The Irish Catholics

We came for King James

Fear no one in this world

Light a fire, now it’s time,

Let the orange flags burn!

William, we never surrender

William, we never surrender

William, we never surrender

The Irish will always survive

The English came across

To stole our lands away

They even tried to force us

To leave our ancient way

They destroyed the cross

Of the chuch of St. Patrick

Puritans, protestants really made us sick!

The English lords were cruel

They were flogging Irish backs

Our people died of hunger

Or left our holy land

Queen Lizzy and Cromwell

Brought us pain and death

Puritans, protestants, we send you back in hell!

The blood is green

That’s running through our veins

You’d better scream

When our cavalry appears

you see us ride

the last thing you see

Cannon fire, people die, we throw you in the sea!
