A Fenian Song

1. The Queen's Own Regiment was their name;

From fair Toronto town they came

To put the Irish all to shame -

The Queen's and Colonel Boker!



2. What fury fills each loyal mind!

No volunteer would stay behind.

They flung their red rag to the wind -

""Hurrah, my boys!"" said Boker.



3. Now helter skelter Ohio,

See how they play that ""heel and toe""!

See how they run from their Irish foe -

The Queen's and Colonel Boker!
