1. The Queen`s Own Regiment was their name;
From fair Toronto town they came
To put the Irish all to shame -
The Queen`s and Colonel Boker!
2. What fury fills each loyal mind!
No volunteer would stay behind.
They flung their red rag to the wind -
`Hurrah, my boys!` said Boker.
3. Now helter skelter Ohio,
See how they play that `heel and toe`!
See how they run from their Irish foe -
The Queen`s and Colonel Boker!
