Proudly the note of the trumpet is sounding

Loudly the warcries arise on the gale

Fleetly the steed by Lough Swilly is bounding

To join the thick squadrons on Saimiers green vale!


On every mountaineer! Stranger to flight or fear!

Rush to the standard of dauntless Red Hugh!

Bonnaught and Gallowglass, throng from each mountain pass!

Onward for Erin! O'Donnell abu!


Princely O'Neill to our aid is advancing

With many a chieftain and warrior clan!

A thousand proud steeds in his vanguard are prancing

Neath the Borderers brave from the banks of the Bann!


Many a heart shall quail under its coat of mail,

Deeply the merciless foeman shall rue

When on his ear shall ring, borne on the breezes wing

TyrConnell's dread war cry O'Donnell abu!


Wildly o'er Desmond the warwolf is howling

Fearless the eagle sweeps over the plain

The fox in the streets of the city is prowling

And all who would conquer them are banished, or slain!


On with O'Donnell then! Fight the good fight again!

Sons of TyrConnell are valiant and true!

Make the proud Saxon feel Erin's avenging steel!

Strike! For your Country! O'Donnell abu!
