1st Verse: When on Ramillie's bloody field, The baffled French were forced to yield, The victor Saxon backward reeled Before the charge of Clare's Dragoons. The Flags we conquered in that fray, Look lone in Ypres' choir, they say, We'll win them company to-day, Or bravely die like Clares Dragoons. Chorus: Viva la for Ireland's wrong! Viva la, for Ireland's right! Viva la in battle throng, For a Spanish steed, and sabre bright!
Excellent stuff. I learned this song as an 9 year old circa 1961. I have visited most Jacobite sites in Ireland and Scotland and a few in England. You may like to check out my own tribute to the Wild Geese on You Tube.
