Most defiantly Joyful line line:
"For we are young and the world is wide" (Rambling boys of pleasure)

Most defiant verse
"Early in the morning I paced thhe guardhouse round,
I jumped out of a window and knocked three of them to the ground
The Corporal and his buddies they was quickly after me,
But I made me way to Birkenhead and so gained me liberty

I am a Rambling Roayal, Jame Cronin is me name
I can fight as many officers as you'll see in the Marines
I can fight as many Orangeman as ever banged a drum
And I'll make 'em run before me like a bullet from a gun"
(Rambling Royal aka as Belfast Shoemaker)
