Lyrics

Well we climbed up the ladder on to Ormonde Quay
An oul' washerwoman thew her coat on me
And into me hand threw a hot mug of tea
'Now you won't catch your death' says she
And I peered o'er the road to Lower Capel Street
A newspaper boy nearly dead on his feet
The front of the Times held above his head
I read what the headline said
'Come join us' says John 'we'll be there together!'
'Come join us' says John 'brother and brother'
And wherever that fight may be Erin's sons you'll see
Fighting for Liberty
'Come join us' says John
So I pulled up me bootstraps and hopped two three
To Portobello for to be an enlistee
Signed up to battle with the enemy
For to keep small nations free
'Come join us' says John we'll be there together
'Come join us' says John brother and brother
The Orangeman in Ulster the Fenian in Munster
Will Unite and we'll fight through day and night
'Come join us' says John
And when I return
It's wed we shall be
In Francis St
With all your family
But til then
'Come join us' says John
'Come join us' says John
