Aye! Fareweel tae Ulster
Her blue hill n glen
Fareweel tae wer darlins
We'el never kiss again
It's a fur them tha fought in
The byegone days of yore
& it's a fur wer freedom boys
When the battles oe'r
Tam lay thonner blastit
ah mangilt near death
A was howlin him as he whuspered
wae his final breth
Tell them bak in Craigywarren, says he,
Am aff tae meet tha Lord
Up thonner A ll be waitin
tell them they hae mae wurd.
