Somewhere back in time
Many years ago
Where the wild flowers bloom
And the ocean winds blow
There came a mighty people
Women children and men
To the shores of a beautiful island
And they called it Ireland
There descendants stand strong and bold
To this very day
Proudly waving the tri-colored flag
And they say
Here's a drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
Raise those glasses on high
Through many years of struggle
They fought to be free
And many a young man gave their lives
For the cause of liberty
Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye
And the Rising of the Moon
Dunlavin Green
And The Boys of Kilmichael
And in a dark corner of some old
Dublin bar
A misty-eyed old Irishman
Raises his jar and says
Here's a drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
Raise those glasses on high
At the Garden of Remembrance
For those who gave it all
A man waves the tri-colored banner
Standing tall
Here's a drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
A drink to old Ireland
A toast to old Ireland
Raise those glasses on high
