    Come all ye Irish heroes that are seeking for liberty.

    (continued from previous page)
    goideadh uaim
    Aililiú mo mháilín na Phrátaí is measa dúinn.
    Dont you be dismayed of potatoes being black or white
    We'll have good oaten meal, bacon and soppy beef
    Our griddles will be baking, brown ale we'll have in store
    Money in circulation, fine earning. as we had before.
    Every liberator will have Free Trade from shore to shore
    And the noble sons of Eire from strange ranging will stay at home
    We'll hunt the bucks and does through the groves of the country
    Through hills and glens and valleys we'll follow those bigot tribes.
    We'll hunt them through Rosscarbery Uibh Laoghaire and Abbeyfeale
    And we'll sweetly sound the horn next morning in Sliabh na mBan.
    Crying aililiú mo mhailín, mo mhailín a goideadh uaim
