Ireland Boys Hurrah!

[Verse 1]
Deep in Canadian woods we've met from one bright island flown
Great is the land we tread but yet our hearts are 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 hurray!

[Refrain]
Ireland boys hurray, Ireland boys hurray
Well here's to Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Verse 2]
We've heard her faults a hundred times, the new ones and the old
In songs and sermons, rants and rhymes, enlarged some fifty-fold
But take them all, the great and small, and this we've got to say
Here's dear old Ireland, good old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Refrain]
Ireland boys hurray, Ireland boys hurray
Well here's to Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Verse 3]
We know that brave and good men tried to snap her rusty chains
The patriots suffered, martyrs died, and all 'tis said in vain
But no boys no, a glance will show, how far they've won their way
Here's dear old Ireland, good old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Refrain]
Ireland boys hurray, Ireland boys hurray
Well here's to Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Verse 4]
But deep in Canadian woods we've met, and may never see again
The dear old isle where our hearts are set, and our first fond hopes remain
But come fill up another cup, with every sup lets say
Here's dear old Ireland, good old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray

[Refrain]
Ireland boys hurray, Ireland boys hurray
Well here's to Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray
Ireland boys hurray, Ireland boys hurray
Well here's to Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hurray
