Here we go a-plundering
In England oh so green
Here we go a-stealing
Everything we see
Hell and hate come to you,
And we'll steal your children too
And we curse you and wish you
Poverty all year,
And we wish you poverty all year.
Here we go a-murdering
In Scotland oh so red
Here we go a-killing
Till everything is dead
Hell and hate come to you
And we'll kill your children too
And we curse you and wish you
Poverty all year,
And we wish you poverty all year.
Here we go a-tor...orching
In Ireland so black
Here we go a-burning
And then we will attack.
Hell and hate come to you
and we'll BURN YOUR CHILDREN TOO
And we curse you and wish you
Poverty all year,
And we wish you poverty all year.
(harmonized:) All year around...
I wrote that in eighth grade. A schoolyard classic.
