In Pennsylvanian woods
we've met from one bright island flown
Great is the land we tread
but yet out heart is with our own
And ere we leave this shanty small
while fades the autumn day
We'll toast old Ireland
dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland, Dear old Ireland
Ireland boys hooray

We've heard her faults a hundred times
the new ones and the old
In songs and sermons, rants andrhymes
enlarged some fifty-fold
But take them all
the great and small, and this we've got to say
Here's loved old Ireland
dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

We know that brave and true men
tried to crack her rusty chain
The patriots suffered
the martyrs died, and all 'tis said in vain
But no boy, no, a glance will show
how far they've won their way
Here's brave old ireland
dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

We've seen the wedding and the wake
the patron and the fair
Lithe young frames
and the dear old games in the kindly Irish air
And the loud "Harroo"
we have heard it too
and the thundering "Clear the way! "
Here's gay old ireland
dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray

In Pennsylvanian woods
we've met and may never see again
The dear old land
where our hearts are set
and our first fond hopes remain
But come, fill up another cup
and with every sup we'll say
We'll toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
Ireland boys hooray, oh Ireland boys hooray
We'll toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland, Ireland boys hooray
