Listen all ye that hold communion with Southern Confederates so bold,
C F C G C
And I'll tell you of some men for the Union who in northern ranks were enrolled.
C F C Am G
They came to Missouri in their glory and thought we would might be dismayed,
C F C G C
But they soon had a different story when they met Kelly's Irish Brigade.
C F
When they met with the Irish Brigade, my boys.
C Am G
When they met with the Irish Brigade.
C F
Didn't those cowardly Lincolnites tremble when
C G C
They met with the Irish Brigade.
C Am G
They have called us rebels and traitors, but themselves have thrown off that name of late.
C F C G C
They were called it by the English invaders at home in the eve of '98.
C F C Am G
The name to us is not a new one, though 'tis one that shall never degrade
C F C G C
Any true hearted Irishman in the ranks of Kelly's Irish Brigade.

When they met with the Irish Brigade, my boys.

And Missouri we'll ever defend her no matter how hard may be the task.
C F C Am G
Then let all true Irishmen assemble. Let the voice of Missouri be obeyed.

And the northern fanatics will tremble when again they meet Kelly's Irish Brigade.
C F
When they met with the Irish Brigade, my boys.
C Am G
When they met with the Irish Brigade.
C F
Didn't those cowardly Lincolnites tremble when
C G C
They met with the Irish Brigade.

When they met with the Irish Brigade, my boys.
C Am G
When they met with the Irish Brigade.
C F
Didn't those cowardly Lincolnites tremble when
C G C
They met with the Irish Brigade.
