To loved Erin the green, the dear land of our fathers.

Of Lord Lucan of old and the immortal O'Connell.

      E                                         B

And whose valleys remain still most beautiful and charming.

Where Owen Roe met Munroe and his Chieftains did Slaughter.

From those bright golden views to enchanting Rostrevor.

The Bann, Boyne, the Pillar and the lakes of Killarney.

        E               B                             E
And her fetters we will break, links that long have encumbered.

        E                                  B
And the air will resound with hosannahs to greet you,

On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to meet you.
