Thank God for America |
They left the old world for the new |
And sailed across the sea |
Driven from their homeland |
To a land of liberty |
Driven by the tyrant’s hand |
From Erin’s Isle so green |
They crossed the western ocean |
To find life’s elusive dreams |
Into the bowels of the cities and the towns |
There the Irish made their way |
Across the new horizons |
Far away from the bitter sea |
They left their homes in Ireland |
No more of the land to see |
And made their way all over the land |
And found a home all over the land |
All over the land |
Colorado, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California, |
North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Oregon, |
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, Maine |
All over, all over |
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Alaska, |
Utah, Iowa, Ottawa, Omaha, Idaho, New Mexico |
All over, all over |
Minnesota, Arizona, Carolina North and South, |
Nevada, Nebraska, Mississippi, and Missouri |
All over, all over |
Come on everybody, thank God for America |
Thank God for America |
For your country and your fertile shores |
Thank God for America |
For we love this land forever more |
Each city, each county, all the wonders that we see |
We’re all part of America |
It’s a land that’s part of you and me |
Thank God for America |
They left the old world for the new |
And sailed across the sea |
Driven from their homeland |
To a land of liberty |
Driven by the tyrant’s hand |
From Erin’s Isle so green |
They crossed the western ocean |
To find life’s elusive dream |
Over the hills and the valleys and the plains |
The Irish brought the railways there |
Blazing the trails of America |
Far away from the bitter sea |
From the gold mines to the coal mines |
Up and down the cattle trails |
They made their way all over the land |
And found a home all over the land |
All over the land |
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, |
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, |
Nova Scotia, Tennessee, and Kentucky |
All over, all over |
Buffalo to Boston, Washington, Wyoming, |
Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Delaware, |
Don’t forget Connecticut |
All over, all over |
Colorado and Chicago, Ohio, Illinois, |
Maryland, Newfoundland, Barrow, and Rhode Island |
All over, all over |
Thank God for America |
For your country and your fertile shores |
Thank God for America |
For we love this land forever more |
Each city, each county, all the wonders that we see |
We’re all part of America |
It’s a land that’s part of you and me |
Thank God for America |
