Subject: RE: The 12th of July
Says Derry Wan till Ike and Sam, yer knowledge is appalling
But he's talkin' through his derry air, I hear his pipes are calling
I just went down to Portydown, till raise up all Drumcree, sir
And thon boys so loyal till the crown, will fall in behind me, sir
What are ye havin'? A three-skin joint?
I'll have a quare wee smoke, sir
And then we'll march till Derry town
And giv yer man a hoak, sir
Says Derry wan till Ike and Sam, I think you're off your thread, sir
Says I till him, don't be so dim, there's nowhere I can't tread sir
This website's on a marching route I've used since I was wee, sir
So I'll rattle my drum and I'll blow my flute anywhere I damn well please, sir
What are ye havin'? A shot o' Buck?
I'll have a nice wee sloat, sir
And on thon joint I'll have a suck
Till sen' me on the road, sir
Says Derry wan till Ike and Sam, I'll do ye a translation
Says Ardmore Sam till Derry wan, give over yer vexation
Yer oul' talk is loose and fast, but I tell ye what ye need sir
A bloody good kick up the ass, so hard yer nose wud bleed, sir
What are ye havin'? Some oul' Scotch Mac?
Ha' ye got a drap dekented?
If I cud get yer man from aff my back
I'd be quarely more contented!
