  1. I
    Here's to Donegal, and her people, brave and tall,
    Here's to Antrim, to Leitrim, and Derry,
    Here's to Cavan and to Louth, here's to Carlow in the South,
    Here's to Longford, to Waterford, and Kerry.
    II
    Here's to Tyrone, where O'Neill long held his own,
    Here's to Monaghan, Fermanagh, and Kildare, boys;
    Here's to her whose stroke broke the hateful Penal yoke,
    And you know that's the brave County Clare, boys.
    III
    Here's to Sligo and to Down, to Armagh of of old renown,
    Here's to Kilkenny, famed in story;
    Here's to Wexford, boys, for she nearly set all Ireland free,
    And here's to Royal Meath and her glory.
