IF ANY OF THOSE CHILDREN OF HUNGER SHALL CRY. Irish, Air (4/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "This is a song of the time of the American War of Independence. I learned it when a child from hearing it often sung: and two verses (with the air) have remained in my memory" (Joyce).

If any of those children of hunger shall cry,
I hope you will relieve them, that are now standing by;
I hope you will relieve them from hunger thirst and cold,
While we are in America like jolly soldiers bold-
With a fal-lal-li-da.
