Down By The Liffey Side The Wolfe Tones

'Twas down by Anna Liffey
My love and I did stray
'Twere in the good old slushy mud
The seagulls sport and play
We caught the whiff of fish and chips
And Mary softly sighed
"Ah, John come on
For a one and one"
Down by the Liffeyside

And on her old melodeon
How sweetly she could play
Goodbye, aye, and don't you sigh
And down by Texas way
Ah but when she turned Sinn Féiner
My heart near burst with pride
For to hear her play the Soldier's Song
Down by the Liffeyside

And we'll have little children
And rare them neat and clean
To shout up the Republic
And talk about Sinn Féin
To emulate their old fellas
Who England's laws defied
And to turn their guns against the Saxon huns
Down by the Liffey side
