The Wolfe Tones — Ireland Over All

Come shoulder, boys, to shoulder now The dawn is reddening o'er The hills that circle Ireland's brow The seas that ring her shore Then hark for now the deckless past Our fathers' voices call For Ireland first and Ireland last And Ireland over all For this dear land our fathers fought For her our martyrs died And could we gain the gall they sought We'd freely die with pride Then would the skies be overcast Bring out your slogan call Old Ireland first and Ireland last And Ireland over all Oh, where Lord [?] would be here today Our fearless Father John Their spirits to our soul would say "Keep fighting, fighting on Unfurl your banner to the blast And let your slogan call" Dear Ireland first and Ireland last And Ireland over all Then shoulder, boys, to shoulder, still As through the weary night We'll stand 'til freedom's banner will In glory and in might Float broadly o'er this mountain blessed And we around would fall Here's Ireland first and Ireland last And Ireland over all For Ireland and Ireland last And Ireland over all
