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!

What fury fills each loyal mind!
 No volunteer would stay behind
 They flung their red rag to the wind 
Hurrah, my boys!" said Boker.

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!
