[Verse]
In comes the captain's daughter, the captain of the Yeos,
Saying, "Brave United Irishmen, we'll ne'er again be foes,
A thousand pounds I'll bring if you would fly from home with me,
And dress myself in man's attire and fight for liberty."

[Chorus]
We are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Verse]
And then we left our cabins, boys, we left with right good will,
To see our friends and neighbours that were at Vinegar Hill,
A young man from our ranks, a cannon he let go,
And slapt it into Lord Mountjoy, a tyrant he laid low.

[Chorus]
We are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Verse]
We bravely fought and conquered at Ross and Wexford town,
Three Bullet Gate for years to come will speak for our renown;
And if for want of leaders, we lost at Vingear Hill,
We're ready for another fight and love our country still.

[Chorus]
We are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.
