Theobald Fitzwalter went to
Chief Butler of all Ireland, unafraid of anything;
He gave to us our family name, and that is why we sing -
The clan goes marching on.
- Chorus -
Glory to the tribe of
Virile, worthy, brave and loyal.
Glory,
The clan goes marching on.
Theobald Fitzwalter was the
father of our clan;
Posterity of Thomas, James and Edward never ran;
Nicholas was virile, Richard was a sturdy man.
The clan goes marching on.
We have our dukes and peasants,
common folk and blue bloods, too;
We greet each other with a smile and "Cousin, howdy-do"
This goes with all the
The clan goes marching on.
The Butler
sons have courage any task or foe to face;
The Butler girls are lovely with their beauty, charm and grace;
The Butler leaven is a blessing to the human race.
The clan goes marching on.
