And I'll take my short revolver, and my bandolier of lead, And live or die I can but try to avenge my countries dead. CHO: Now there's one I leave behind me, she's the coleen I adore, And I wonder will she think of me, when she hears them cannons roar, Ah, but when the war is over, and when dear old Ireland's free, I will take her to the church to wed, and a rebels wife she'll be.
