  1. The Boys of Old Erin the Green

    Share Share Post
    Come on you true born Irishmen, Wherever you may be,
    We'll sing a patriots song of home and liberty.
    In our native land which we all love, that gem upon the main,
    Which once was free as bird or be and shall be so again.
    Chorus
    Then hurra for the flag with the harp upon the green.
    We'll have what we want my boys, and we'll be what we have been.
    We'll never give the battle up, but struggle on like men.
    Till old Ireland is belonging to the Irish again.
