[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 give to you and fly from home with thee,
And dress myself in man's attire and fight for liberty."

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

[Verse]
"I want no gold, my maiden fair to fly from home with thee,
Your smiling eyes will be my prize, more dear than gold to me,
I want no gold to nerve my arm, to do a true man's part,
To freely my native land I'll give thе red drops of my heart."

[Chorus]
We are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with hearts and hands,
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 who were at Vinegar Hill,
And 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 hearts and hands,
To burst in twain the galling chain,
And free our native land.

[Verse]
And Oulart's name will be their shame, whose steel we ne'er did fear,
And every man could do his part, like Forth and Shelmalier,
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 hearts and hands,
To burst in twain that galling chain,
And free our native land.
