Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

When, on Ramillies’ bloody field,
\nThe baffled French were forced to yield,
\nThe victor Saxon backward reeled
\nBefore the charge of Clare’s dragoons.
\nThe flags we conquered in that fray,
\nLook lone in Ypres’ choir, they say,
\nWe’ll win them company today,
\nOr bravely die like CIare’s dragoons.<\/p>\n

Viva la, for Ireland’s wrong!
\nViva la, for Ireland’s right!
\nViva la, in battle throng,
\nFor a Spanish steed and sabre bright!<\/p>\n

Another Clare is here to lead,
\nThe worthy son of such a breed
\nThe French expect some famous deed,
\nWhen Clare leads on his bold dragoons.
\nOur colonel comes from Brian’s race,
\nHis wounds are in his breast and face,
\nThe bearna baoghil is still his place,
\nThe foremost of his bold dragoon,<\/p>\n

Viva la, the new brigade!
\nViva la, the old one too!
\nViva la, the rose shall fade
\nAnd the shamrock shine forever new!<\/p>\n

Oh! comrades, think how Ireland pines,
\nHer exiled lords, her rifled shrines,
\nHer dearest hope, the ordered lines,
\nAnd bursting charge of Clare’s dragoons.
\nThen fling your green flag to the sky,
\nBe “Limerick!” your battle-cry,,
\nAnd charge, till blood floats fetlock-high
\nAround the track of Clare’s dragoons.<\/p>\n

Viva la, the new brigade!
\nViva la, the old one too!
\nViva la, the rose shall fade
\nAnd the shamrock shine forever new!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
