Ireland over All - The Wolfe Tones

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
