St. George for Old England, with target and lance,

St. Andrew for Scotland, St. Denis for France, St. David o'er Wales, so long known to preside, And St. Patrick, Hibernia's patron and pride. Derry down, etc.

He was gallant and brave as a saint ought to be, For St. George was not braver or better than

he,

He would drink and would sing and would rattle like thunder,

Though 'twas said, he was, now and then given to blunder.

Derry down, etc.

But the jests of his friends he took in good part,

For his blunders were nought but th' excess of

his heart;

Though there was but one blunder he ever would own,

And that was when he saw all the claret was

gone.

Derry down, etc.

He'd fight for his country's religion and laws, And when beauty was injur'd he took up the

cause,

For the gallant St. Patrick, as ev'ry one knows,
Was fond of a pretty girl under the rose.
Derry down, etc.
