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!
