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!
What fury fills each loyal mind!
No volunteer would stay behind.
They flung their red rag to the
wind -
"Hurrah, my boys!" said
Boker.
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!
