A Wee Spot in Europe (V)

There's a wee spot in Europe its a place of great fame,
It lies to the northland and Ulster's its name,
It only has six counties but o what renown,
And its emblem is the red hand topped by the Queens crown.


Now the Germans came over in the year of forty one,
And they tried to destroy us by bomb and by gun,
But our history could tell us of others who tried,
How our sons defended Ulster and they fought and died.


If a fenian should speak to you in his own fenian tongue,
They will speak of our friendships why we cant be one,
Just you point to the red hand topped by the Queens crown,
Say were side by side with Britain and they wont let us down.


So now brethren and sisters let us join as one,
Let us drink to our Ulster its heroes and its sons,
And while we are toasting two names we must join,
That of William of Orange, and the banks of the Boyne.
