Don't forget:
Who put the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder.
The wearing of the green
Johnson's motorcar.
Irish Soldier Boy
Wrap the green flag around me
Rifles of the I.R.A.
Black and Tans
The Rebel Jesus
Johnnie I hardly knew you
And one my grandfather used to sing, forgotten the title but it was
about the English being the first Egyptians
Lines like "it must have been the British that built the pyramids
because the Irish were the only ones strong enough to lift the bricks'
and "it must have been the Irish that swam the river Nile, because
they're the only ones that could fight the crocodile"
