An Ulster man I am [Ab] proud to [Fm] be, from Mantra's glens I come.
And [Ab] though I've [Db] laboured [Ab] by the [Fm] sea, I've followed flag and drum.
[Ab] I have heard the [Fm] martial tramp of men, [Db] I've seen him fight [Eb] and die.
[Ab] Oh lads, it's well I remember when [Fm] I followed Henry Joy.
[Ab] I dragged my [Db] boat in from [Ab] the shore, [Fm] and I hid my sails away.
[Ab] And I hung my [Db] nets upon [Ab] a tree, [Fm] and I scat, oh, lit bay.
The boys went out the red coast too, I [Db] kissed my love [Eb] goodbye.
[Ab] And in the shade of the green wood glade, [Fm] I followed Henry Joy.
[Ab] In Antrim town [Db] the [Ab] tyrant stood, [Fm] he tore our ranks with ball.
[Ab] But with a cheer [Db] and a pike [Ab] to clear, [Fm] we swept them o'er the wall.
Our pikes and sabres flashed the day, [Db] we won but lost [Eb] away.
[Ab] No matter lads, [Db] I have fought [Ab] beside [Fm] and shielded Henry Joy.
[Ab] It was for [Db] Ireland's cause [Ab] we fought, [Fm] for home and sire we bled.
[Ab] Though our pikes were few, [Db] our hearts [Ab] were true, [Fm] and five to one lay dead.
And [Db] many a [Ab] lusty mourned her lad, [Db] and mother mourned [Eb] her boy.
[Ab] For youth was strong in that gallant throng [Fm] that followed Henry Joy.
[Ab] In Belfast town [Db] they built [Ab] a tree, [Fm] and the Redcoats mustered there.
[Ab] I saw him come [Db] as the beat [Ab] of a drum [Fm] rolled out in the barrack square.
[Ab] He kissed his sister and went aloft [Fm] and waved a last [Eb] goodbye.
[Ab] My God, he died, I turned and cried, [Fm] they've murdered Henry Joy.
And [Ab] though I've [Db] laboured [Ab] by the [Fm] sea, I've followed flag and drum.
[Ab] I have heard the [Fm] martial tramp of men, [Db] I've seen him fight [Eb] and die.
