In Pennsylvanian woods we've met from one bright island flown
Great is the land we tread, but yet out heart is with our own
And ere we leave this shanty small while fades the autumn day

We'll toast old Ireland dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

We've heard her faults a hundred times, the new ones and the old
In songs and sermons, rants andrhymes, enlarged some fifty-fold
But take them all, the great and small, and this we've got to say
Here's loved old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

We know that brave and true men tried to crack her rusty chain
The patriots suffered, the martyrs died, and all 'tis said in vain
But no boy, no, a glance will show, how far they've won their way
Here's brave old ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

We've seen the wedding and the wake, the patron and the fair
Lithe young frames and the dear old games in the kindly Irish air
And the loud harroo, we have heard it too, and the thundering: Clear the way!
Here's gay old ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

In Pennsylvanian woods we've met and may never see again
The dear old land where our hearts are set and our first fond hopes remain
But come, fill up another cup, and with every sup we'll say
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
