Ye Genii of the nation	A
Who look with veneration	A
And Ireland's desolation onsaysingly deplore	B
Ye sons of General Jackson	A
Who thrample on the Saxon	A
Attend to the thransaction upon Shannon shore	B
	-
When William Duke of Schumbug	C
A tyrant and a humbug	C
With cannon and with thunder on our city bore	B
Our fortitude and valiance	D
Insthructed his battalions	D
To respict the galliant Irish upon Shannon shore	B
	-
Since that capitulation	A
No city in this nation	A
So grand a reputation could boast before	B
As Limerick prodigious	D
That stands with quays and bridges	D
And the ships up to the windies of the Shannon shore	B
	-
A chief of ancient line	E
'Tis William Smith O'Brine	E
Reprisints this darling Limerick this ten years or more	B
O the Saxons can't endure	F
To see him on the flure	F
And thrimble at the Cicero from Shannon shore	F
	-
This valliant son of Mars	D
Had been to visit Par's	D
That land of Revolution that grows the tricolor	F
And to welcome his returrn	E
From pilgrimages furren	E
We invited him to tay on the Shannon shore	F
	-
Then we summoned to our board	G
Young Meagher of the sword	G
'Tis he will sheathe that battle axe in Saxon gore	F
And Mitchil of Belfast	H
We bade to our repast	H
To dthrink a dish of coffee on the Shannon shore	F
	-
Convaniently to hould	H
These patriots so bould	H
We tuck the opportunity of Tim Doolan's store	F
And with ornamints and banners	D
As becomes gintale good manners	D
We made the loveliest tay room upon Shannon shore	F
	-
'Twould binifit your sowls	D
To see the butthered rowls	D
The sugar tongs and sangwidges and craim galyore	F
And the muffins and the crumpets	D
And the band of hearts and thrumpets	D
To celebrate the sworry upon Shannon shore	F
	-
Sure the Imperor of Bohay	I
Would be proud to dthrink the tay	H
That Misthress Biddy Rooney for O'Brine did pour	F
And since the days of Strongbow	J
There never was such Congo	C
Mitchil dthrank six quarts of it by Shannon shore	F
	-
But Clarndon and Corry	F
Connellan beheld this sworry	F
With rage and imulation in their black hearts' core	F
And they hired a gang of ruffins	D
To interrupt the muffins	D
And the fragrance of the Congo on the Shannon shore	F
	-
When full of tay and cake	C
O'Brine began to spake	C
But juice a one could hear him for a sudden roar	F
Of a ragamuffin rout	H
Began to yell and shout	H
And frighten the propriety of Shannon shore	F
	-
As Smith O'Brine harangued	H
They batthered and they banged	H
Tim Doolan's doors and windies down they tore	F
They smashed the lovely windies	D
Hung with muslin from the Indies	D
Purshuing of their shindies upon Shannon shore	F
	-
With throwing of brickbats	D
Drowned puppies and dead rats	D
These ruffin democrats themselves did lower	F
Tin kettles rotten eggs	D
Cabbage stalks and wooden legs	D
They flung among the patriots of Shannon shore	F
	-
O the girls began to scrame	K
And upset the milk and crame	K
And the honorable gintlemin they cursed and swore	F
And Mitchil of Belfast	H
'Twas he that looked aghast	H
When they roasted him in effigy by Shannon shore	F
	-
O the lovely tay was spilt	H
On that day of Ireland's guilt	H
Says Jack Mitchil 'I am kilt Boys where's the back door	F
'Tis a national disgrace	D
Let me go and veil me face '	-
And he boulted with quick pace from the Shannon shore	F
	-
'Cut down the bloody horde '	-
Says Meagher of the sword	H
'This conduct would disgrace any blackamore '	-
But the best use Tommy made	H
Of his famous battle blade	H
Was to cut his own stick from the Shannon shore	F
	-
Immortal Smith O'Brine	E
Was raging like a line	E
'Twould have done your sowl good to have heard him roar	F
In his glory he arose	D
And he rushed upon his foes	D
But they hit him on the nose by the Shannon shore	F
	-
Then the Futt and the Dthragoons	D
In squadthrons and platoons	D
With their music playing chunes down upon us bore	F
And they bate the rattatoo	H
But the Peelers came in view	L
And ended the shaloo on the Shannon shore	F
