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

I went to see David, to London to David
\nI went to see David, and what did he do?
\nHe gave me a Free State, a nice little Free State
\nA Free State that’s bound up with Red, White and Blue
\nI brought it to Dublin to show to Dail Eirann
\nI brought it to Dublin, and what did they do?
\nThey asked me what kind of a thing was a Free State
\nA Free State that’s tied up with Red, White and Blue<\/p>\n

“Three quarters of Ireland a nation,” I told them
\n“Tied on to the Empire with Red, White and Blue;
\nAnd an oath they must swear to King George and Queen Mary
\nAn oath they must swear to the son-in-law new
\nI’m teaching them Irishand painting their boxes
\nAll over with green, sure, what more can I do?
\nYet they tell me they want just an Irish Republic
\nWithout any trimmings of Red, White and Blue!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
