are we downhearted? - arthur boyton lyrics

mister pat malone, upon the continong
was fighting in the irish fusiliers
one night in the camp he rose to sing a song
and all the tommies greeted him with cheers
said pat: “i’ll sing a song about our gallant fighting men
although we’ve had a tussle with the germans now and then”;

“are we downhearted?”
“no!”
“then let your voices ring
and altogether sing!
are we downhearted?”
“no!”
“not while britannia rules the waves!”
“not likely!”
“while we have jack upon the sea
and tommy on the land, we need not fret
it’s a long, long way to tipperary
but we’re not downhearted yet!”

with a frenchy girl pat toddled out one night
and arm in arm they strolled, you may depend
till a dozen pals all sang out with delight
“h*llo, h*llo there, who’s your lady friend?”
said patrick, “i don’t know her name, but listen here old pal
if this is what they give us with the entente cordiale”;
“are we downhearted?”
“no!”
“then let your voices ring
and altogether sing!
are we downhearted?”
“no!”
not while britannia rules the waves!”
“not likely!”
“while we have jack upon the sea
and tommy on the land, we need not fret
it’s a long, long way to tipperary
but we’re not downhearted yet!”
