G Em We soon got into battle: we made a charge of bay'nets: C G The Rebel blaggards soon gave way: they fell as thick as paynuts. G Em Och hone! the slaughter that we made, bedad, it was delighting! C G For, the Irish lads in action are the divil's boys for fighting.

[Verse 3]
G Em Och, sure, we never will give in, in any sort of manner, C D Until the South comes back agin, beneath the Starry-Banner; G Em And if John Bull should interfere, he'd suffer for it truly; C G For soon the Irish Volunteers would give him Ballyhooly.

[Verse 4]
G Em And now, before I ind my song, this free advice I'll tender: C G We soon will use the Rebels up and make them all surrender, G Em And, once again, the Stars and Stripes will to the breeze be swellin', C G If Uncle Abe will give us back our darling boy McClellan.
[Chorus]

Oh! we'll follow Little MacHe'll lade us on to glory, O!
C He'll lade us on to glory, O! G D G To save the Stripes and Stars. G He'll lade us on to glory, O! C He'll lade us on to glory, O! G D G To save the Stripes and Stars.
