It was back in history's page The story's told Of a Napper Tandy, brave and bold With his scarlet and green, he then was seen With his big long gun and his fighting men And they beat at the drum They fired their gun And they shook the English establishment And the Lords and the Peers They then put fears And Grattan got his Parliament So here's to those great protestant men Who gave their lives to free our land All the people sang their praises then For the brave United Irishmen In Belfast town there lived a man And his name was Samuel Neilson A minister's son, Presbyterian Had a paper called the Northern Star There was Henry Joy, the Green Volunteers And Thomas Russell and McCabe and McTeir And to them was known a man Wolfe Tone And they formed the first United Men So here's to those great protestant men Who gave their lives to free our land All the people sang their praises then For the brave United Irishmen Sow your laws with dragons teeth And then you'll see That you've sowed the seeds of bigotry Be England's fool, divide they'll rule So they set to break the United Men And they killed them in the Fields and some in jail And some upon the gallows high When Willie Orr died his very last cry Was "Unite and fight, brave Irishmen" So here's to those great protestant men Who gave their lives to free our land All the people sang their praises then For the brave United Irishmen Cast dissensions to the wind Let all men lend To the common name of an Irishman For across history's page to rant and rage Men crossed the pails of bigotry There was the men of '98 no sadder fate Lord Edward, Tone and the brothers Sheares It was Emmet's plea in 18 and 3 When he tried to set our country free So here's to those great protestant men Who gave their lives to free our land All the people sang their praises then For the brave United Irishmen
