An Ulster man I am proud to say from the Antrim Glens I comeAlthough I labored by the sea I followed fife and drumI have heard the martial tramp of men; I've seen men fight and dieAh! lads I well remember when I followed Henry Joy I pulled my boat up from the sea I hid my sail awayI hung my nets on a greenwood tree and I scanned the moonlit bayThe boys were out, and the Redcoats too - I kissed my wife good-byeAnd in the shade of the greenwood glade, sure I followed Henry Joy In Antrim Town the tyrant stood, he tore our ranks with ballBut with a cheer and a pike to clear we swept the o'er the wallOur pikes and sabers flashed that day - we won, but lost, ah whyNo matter lads, I fought beside, and shielded Henry Joy Ah! boys, for Ireland's cause we fought, for her and home we bledThough pikes were few still our hearts beat true, and five to one lay deadBut many a lassie mourned her lad and mother mourned her boyFor youth was strong in that gallant throng, who followed Henry Joy In Belfast Town they built a tree, and the Redcoats mustered thereI watched them come at the beat of the drum, rolled out from the barrack squareHe kissed his sister and went aloft, he bade a last good-byeMy God, he died, sure I turned and cried, They have murdered Henry Joy!
