From  The Great Canadian Tunebook by Barry Taylor

A Fenian Song

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 Booker!

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

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 Booker!

Repeat first verse.
