America Is Irish all the way Maurice Byrne 2020

Oh where in America
Will they raise Brit bunting true
Have their homes all decked out
In Union Jacks with you /1
Is the 23rd of April
When they all go out to dance
In honour of St George
Who Slayed a dragon with his lance /2
Do they raise a glass in honour
Of England with such awe
And sing songs mist and teary eyed
Called “Britannia go brágh” /3
Did Paul Revere ride his steed
Through the stilly night
And shout how al the English
Were way too tired to ride /4
Sure the English burned the White House
Almost to the ground
History said they did it
Were they cheered on by the crowd? /5
One last thing just struck me
I hope you’ll check and see
Old George’s Cross is on lease
From Genoa, Italy! /6
So tell me why would you look
For trade and help and succour
To people whom you pissed off
They’re folk who’d call you - Look here… /7
