Royal Visit to the USA

[Woodsheal]

When the Prince of Wales came over here, and made a hubbaboo,
Oh, everybody turned out, you know, in gold and tinsel too;
But then the good old 69th didn't like these lords or peers--
They wouldn't give a damn for kings, the Irish Volunteers!
We love the land of Liberty, its laws we will revere,
"But the divil take nobility!" says the Irish Volunteer!

Och, who let all these Fenians on the board?

Among our ancient mountains,
And from our lovely vales,
Oh! Let the prayer re-echo
God bless the Prince of Wales!
