(Chorus)
Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I be
I thought again brave Irishmen had set old Ireland free
And how excited I became when I heard the cannon roar
Oh ghrá mo chróí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
It's we've had brave Irishmen as everyone must know
O'Neil, O'Donnell, Sarsfield too, Lord Edward and Wolfe Tone
And also Robert Emmett who 'til death did not give o'er
Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
Now we can't forget those former years, they're kept in memory still
Of the Wexford men of Ninety-Eight who fought at Vinegar Hill
With Father Murphy by their side and his green flag flying o'er
Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
(Chorus)
Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I be
I thought again brave Irishmen had set old Ireland free
And how excited I became when I heard the cannon roar
Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
Oh ghrá mo chroí, I long to see old Ireland free once more
