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, Argentinas"
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 Brit
