A Fenian Song

A Fenian Song The Queen's Own Regiment was their name; From fair Toronto town they came To put the Irish all to shame - The Queen's and Colonel Boker! What fury fills each loyal mind! No volunteer would stay behind. They flung their red rag to the wind - "Hurrah, my boys!" said Boker. Now helter skelter Ohio, See how they play that "heel and toe"! See how they run from their Irish foe - The Queen's and Colonel Boker! (From Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs, Fowke)
