1. In the morning by my side sat the darling of my pride,
And our happy children round us were at play,
When the news spread through the land that the Fenians
were at hand,
At our country's call we'll cheerfully obey.
Chorus: Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching.
Cheer up, comrades, let them come,
For beneath the Union Jack we will drive the
Fenians back,
And we'll fight for our beloved Canadian home.
2. Should this poor deluded band dare set foot upon our
land,
Or molest the rights of England's noble Queen,
They will meet with British pluck--English, Irish,
Scot, Canuck--
And they'll wish themselves at home again I ween!
(Chorus)
