Key: Ab major
Verse 1
We consider England a mother to us.
Six hundred years of a mother
is a long time.
I'll sing you a song of peace and love,
Whack for the diddle of the dido day.
To the land that rules our lands above,
Whack for the diddle of the dido day.
May peace and plenty be her share,
Who kept our homes from
want and care.
God bless England is our prayer,
D
G
Whack for the diddle of the dido day,
Whack for the diddle of the dido day.
So we say, Hebrae,
come and listen while we pray
Like for the diddle of the diddle day
Now when we were savage,
fierce, and wild
Like for the diddle of the diddle day
She came as a mother to her child
Like for the diddle of the diddle day
Gently raised us from the slime
And kept our hands from hellish crime
And sent us to heaven in
her own good time
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
So we say hip -a -ray
Come and listen while we pray
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
But our fathers oft were naughty boys
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
For pikes and guns are
D
G
dangerous toys
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
From Ballina Hub we on to Bunkers Hill
We made poor England cry our fill
But old Britannia lost us still
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
Now Irish men forget the past
Whack for the diddle of the diddle day
And think of a day that's coming fast
Whack for the diddle of a diddle day
When we will all be civilised,
neat and clean
Won't Mother England
Whack for the diddle of a diddle day
Whack for the diddle of a diddle day
So we say, every day
Come and shine the eye away
Whack for the diddle of a diddle day
Thank
