| Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I be
|
| I thought again brave Irishmen had set old Ireland free
|
| And how excited I became when I heard the cannon roar
|
| Oh ghrá mo chróí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
|
| It’s we’ve had brave Irishmen as everyone must know
|
| O’Neil, O’Donnell, Sarsfield too, Lord Edward and Wolfe Tone
|
| And also Robert Emmett who 'til death did not give o’er
|
| Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
|
| Now we can’t forget those former years, they’re kept in memory still
|
| Of the Wexford men of Ninety-Eight who fought at Vinegar Hill
|
| With Father Murphy by their side and his green flag flying o’er
|
| Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
|
| Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I be
|
| I thought again brave Irishmen had set old Ireland free
|
| And how excited I became when I heard the cannon roar
|
| Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
|
| Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more |
