weerover Origins: We'll Crown De Valera (8) Song: We'll Crown De Valera 11 Mar 21

While searching for something else I came across this bit of a song:

"Up De Valera, the leader of the fight,
Well follow him to battle for the orange, green and white;
And when we meet the English, well show them how to fight,
And we'll crown De Valera King of Ireland."

I have visited many sites which feature Irish traditional/historical songs but have never seen any mention of this. The cadence and structure of this (fragment?) suggests to me "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Anyone got any more?
