It was eighteen hundred and forty-six when we abandoned Company K
We left the Yankee Infantry, said goodbye to the U.S.A.
A country whose grand promise we never got to know
To fight for Santa Anna and the freedom of México

To brand us all deserters would imply that we once belonged
We were Irish and we were Catholic when the time and place was wrong
And so we came to turn our backs on what we thought was the promised land
When John Bull reared his ugly head, dressed up like Uncle Sam

We had a sweet simple glory,
an immortal band of rogues
A thorn in the side of Uncle Sam:
The San Patricios

... and down at Mayohiga is where I oughta be
Laying down in the darkness with old Eirin's company
A bunny on me left, and another one on me right
And a fistful precious spellcards fer me little Armalite

I'm perfectly aware that isn't an AR15 in the pic.

John Riley was our Captain; from Galway he did hail
Mackey was a Dublin man; a fighter without fail
Armagh, Down, and Derry, represented in the ranks
Kelly was a Cork man who belted out the banks

In the combat of Churabusco we fought to hold the town
The white flag three times raised, and three times was pulled down
No surrender for San Patricios! or our adopted friends
To the death we fought or faced the rope, so we fought on to the end

Brave but yet outnumbered, our remaining men was caught
The Stars and Stripes was hoisted high; our efforts all for naught
Some rounded up and taken to San Pacito square
To face the fate of traitors they knew awaited there

Forced to watch the battle to take Chapultepec
Thirty stood on ox-carts with nooses 'round their necks
The flying flag was signaled!,―now Death is their relief
Not traitors executed―heroes maryred for Belief!
