Lyrics Ireland over All - The Wolfe Tones

Ireland over All

Come shoulder, boys, to shoulder now
The dawn is reddening o’er
The hills that circle Ireland’s brow
The seas that ring her shore
Then hark for now the deckless past
Our fathers' voices call
For Ireland first and Ireland last
And Ireland over all
For this dear land our fathers fought
For her our martyrs died
And could we gain the gall they sought
We’d freely die with pride
Then would the skies be overcast
Bring out your slogan call
Old Ireland first and Ireland last
And Ireland over all
Oh, where Lord would be here today
Our fearless Father John
Their spirits to our soul would say
«Keep fighting, fighting on
Unfurl your banner to the blast
And let your slogan call»
Dear Ireland first and Ireland last
And Ireland over all
Then shoulder, boys, to shoulder, still
As through the weary night
We’ll stand 'til freedom’s banner will
In glory and in might
Float broadly o’er this mountain blessed
And we around would fall
Here’s Ireland first and Ireland last
And Ireland over all
For Ireland and Ireland last
And Ireland over all
