1. An Ulsterman I am proud to be From the Antrim Glens I come. Although I labour by the sea I have followed flag and drum. 2. I have heard the martial tramp of men I've seen them fight and die. And well do I remember when I followed Henry Joy. 3. I pulled my boat up from the sea I hid my sails away, I hung my nets on a greenwood tree And I scanned the moonlit bay.

4. The boys were out, and the Redcoats too, I kissed my wife goodbye; And in the shade of the greenwood glade I followed Henry Joy. 5. Ah, lads for Ireland's cause we fought; For home and heart we bled, Though our numbers were few our hearts beat true, And five to one lay dead, 6. And many a lassie missed her lad, And mother mourned her boy; For youth was strong in that gallant throng Who followed Henry Joy.
