THE MUNSTER FUSILIERS Come pass the call 'round Munster. Let the notes ring loud and clear. We want the merchant and the squire, The peasant and the Peer. For we mean to whip those Germans, So away with your paltry affairs And come join that grand Battalion Called the Munster Fusiliers The Kaiser knows each Munster By the shamrock on his cap And the famous Bengal tiger Ever ready for a scrap. With all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and Grenadiers, He feared to face the bayonets Of the Munster Fusiliers When marching up through Belgium Sure we thought of days of old. The cruel sights that meet your eyes Would make your blood run cold To see the ruined convents And the Holy nuns in tears. By God on high avenge or die Cried the Munster Fusiliers God rest our fallen comrades, May they take their long last sleep On the fields of France and Flanders, Sure, we have no cause to weep, For their deeds will live in history And the youth of future years Will read with pride Of the men who died, The Munster Fusiliers.
