An ulsterman i am proud to be

>From the antrim glens i come.

Although i labour by the sea

I have followed flag and drum.

I have heard the martial tramp of men

I've seen them fight and die.

Ah lads i well remember when

I followed henry joy.

I pulled my boat up from the sea

I hid my sails away

I hung my nets on a greenwood tree

And i scanned the moonlit bay.

The boys were out and the redcoats too

I kissed my wife goodbye;

And in the shade of the greenwood glade

I followed henry joy. "

In antrim town the tyrant stood

He tore our ranks with ball

But with a cheer and a pike to clear

We swept them o'er the wall.

Our pikes and sabres flushed that day

We won but lost ah why?

No matter lads i fought beside

And shielded henry joy.

Ah boys for ireland's cause we fought;

For her and home we bled

Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true

And five to one lay dead

And many a lassie mourned her lad

And mother mourned her boy;

For youth was strong in that gallant throng

Who followed henry joy.
