The Irish Free State

Melody -

1. I went to see David,
To London to David,
I went to see David,
And what did he do?

2. He gave me a Free State,
A nice little Free State
A Free State that's bound up
With Red, White and Blue.

3. I brought it to Dublin
To show to Dail Eirann
I brought it to Dublin,
And what did they do?

4. They asked me what kind
Of a thing was a Free State,
A Free State that's tied up
With Red, White and Blue.
5. "Three quarters of Ireland
A nation," I told them,
"Tied on to the Empire
With Red, White and Blue;

6. And an oath they must swear
To King George and Queen Mary
An oath they must swear
To the son-in-law new.

7. I'm teaching them Irishand
Painting their boxes
All over with green, sure,
What more can I do?

8. Yet they tell me they want
Just an Irish Republic
Without any trimmings
Of Red, White and Blue!
