Unknown Artist - A Fenian Song Lyrics
A Fenian Song
1. The Queen`s Own Regiment Was Their Name;
From Fair Toronto Town They Came
To Put The Irish All To Shame -
The Queen`s And Colonel Boker!
2. What Fury Fills Each Loyal Mind!
No Volunteer Would Stay Behind.
They Flung Their Red Rag To The Wind -
`hurrah, My Boys!` Said Boker.
3. Now Helter Skelter Ohio,
See How They Play That `heel And Toe`!
See How They Run From Their Irish Foe -
The Queen`s And Colonel Boker!
from Penguin Book Of Canadian Folk Songs, Fowke
note: In 1866, Some 1200 Fenian Troops, Mostly From Meagher`s
Irish Brigade, Invaded Canada, Crossing At Buffalo. The First
Loyalist Resistance Came From The Queen`s Own Rifles, A Toronto-
Garrisoned Force Consisting Largely Of Young College Gentlemen,
And Led By Colonel Alfred Booker. The Loyalists Were Routed, In
One Of The Fenian`s Only Victories.
