lyrics

You heard of Sean O'Farrell who was out relaying orders
He nearly got his head shot off a runnin' twixt the borders
So now he's being spelled by another Finnian soldier
He's callin out the old brigade as the Black and Tans come closer

The pikes will be together
The pikes will be together
The pikes will be together and the nation will be one.

25 good Irishmen, the best you ever seen
Went fighting to an early grave, all for the blessed green
Tonight they'll be replaced by yet another hundred more
O''Malleys reinforcements will be comin up the shore

A banner for the Munster boys, and two for Dublin's own
three lanterns in the window means we're taken' this one home
A whistle for the final charge and on we go to see
Who's left and standing on the hill, the Queen's little boys, or me
