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 Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once more.
It's true 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 till death did not give o'er
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, 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 '98, who fought at Vinegar Hill
With Father Murphy by their side, and his green flag flying o'er
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once more.
