Admiral William Brown
From a county Mayo town
came a man of great renown
as a sailor and a soldier was none bolder.
He went to America
at an early age they say
as a cabin boy to sail the wide world over.
Then adventure took him south
to the De La Plata mouth
San Martin was on the route in Argentina
so three whaling ships he bought.
And Brazil and Spain he fought
and freedom then he sought for Argentina.
Now Admiral William Brown
you're a man of courage shown
and in battles fought the odds were all against you
but your Irish heart was strong
and in memory still lives on
and in Ireland there are some that don't forget you
On St. Patrick's day it's told
you had many victories bold
you defeated all invaders thugs and bullys
then through the Pampas rose
and you found a happy home
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas
He had heard of Irish hands
in noble gallant bands
that helped to free the land called Argentina.
He had heard with great acclaim
the Patricios name and fame
When in 1806 the British came for slaughter.
And to this very day
in the Argentine they say
the English ran away from Buenos Aires
to the islands further down
and they took them for the crown
las Islas Malvinas, Argentina
We remember William Brown
and his land of great renown
He, invader of the islands from your country

when in 1833
were by pirates forced to flee.
And in Ireland sure we know the story fully
and the people that went too
to the Argentine when new
to escape the English laws and wars and famine.
They had proved a loyal crew
just like all the Irish do.
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas
The old colonial days
and cruel English ways
with her thunder plunder we will teach the natives
For the Brits are going to war
just like Whitelocke did before
with her ships and guns and drums and flags and banners.
In the Empire days of old
when they murdered for gold
and paraded it around the streets of London.
Oh no human rights were given
to the natives dead or living.
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas
In the Argentine he died
Father Fahey by his side
'57 was the year his country mourned him.
A hero of the nation
he's remembered with elation
throughout the world where freedom still abounds.
And the Southern Cross take note
where bold Willie Bullfin wrote
'Tthe Irish still support you Argentina'
With the Empire tumbling down
let no Paddies back the crown
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas.
With the Empire tumbling down
let no Paddies back the crown
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas.
