I went to see David, to London to David, I went to see David, and what
did he do? He gave me a Free State, a nice little Free State A Free State that's bound up with Red, White and Blue. I
brought it to Dublin to show to Dail Eirann I brought it to Dublin, and what did they do? They asked me what kind of
a thing was a Free State, A Free State that's tied up with Red, White and Blue.
"Three quarters of Ireland a nation,"
I told them, "Tied on to the Empire with Red, White and Blue; And an oath they must swear to King George and Queen Mary An
oath they must swear to the son-in-law new. I'm teaching them Irish and painting their boxes All over with green, sure,
what more can I do? Yet they tell me they want just an Irish Republic Without any trimmings of Red, White and Blue!
