THE INVERCARGILL BOYS.
Me gintle muse, now don't refuse, But lind to me yer aid, Wid song inspire ma chuneful lyre, Til I me harp have played In loyal praise ay those who raise A ruckshion an' a noise,— To prove ther might be day an' night, The Invercargill Boys.
They stand in front an' bear the brunt, Ay coorse ye must allow, Aitch sthrong phalanx in martial ranki la ready for a row; Advanced idaya—(faix them's ther ways)— Attinshun thim imploys. The foremost van for rights o' man Are Invercargill Boys.
Sure they have got a pathri-ott, An' Schnieder is his name, Who laids the host to-freedom's post An' faix, he's not to blame ; His manly voice makes them re-Joyce, The tyrants he annoys, bo true an' proud, he^kids the crowd Ay Invercargill Boys.
The devil a thing—its truth I sfng,
Iscapes this noble band, .-•.-.-.• The Tory plague, likewise the laigue That dails wid Irish land, Atthracts their views, they don't amuse
Thimselves wid palthry toya; Progression owes a debt to those Bould Invercargill Boys.
Tina fill a cup an'dhrink it up, Hero's slantha to the mm, So brave an' bould of Southland cowld, Who fight, wid voice an' pin, •■*• _ .: To rise a dust an' forward thrust Their city's claitDß ; ochjoys . ; . An' blessin'e too, f:ill down on you, , Bould Invercargill Bojs. Paddx MttbphY:
