Green mountains and rivers,
The Emerald Isle,
A nation occupied
For eight hundred years.
Now is the time
To rise up and fight,
And get the freedom that was taken from us.
We have a hero in
I-RE-LAND!
Our brave "Big Fella" in
I-RE-LAND!
As statesman and as commander,
His bravery encourages US IN BATTLE!
Our soldiers must hold the line
To send these invaders out.
We have a hero in
I-RE-LAND! (I-RE-LAND!)
The Harp Flag will wave again.
WILL WAVE AGAIN!
In a free and glorious land.
Caps and rifles
Across the fields,
Guns in the pub
At quarter to six.
Now is the time
To rise up and fight,
And get the freedom that was taken from us.
We have a hero in
I-RE-LAND!
Our brave "Big Fella" in
I-RE-LAND!
And this hero has a name,
A name that everyone knows (MICHAEL COLLINS!)
He commands our liberators
And makes the enemy ashamed.
We have a hero in
I-RE-LAND! (I-RE-LAND!)
The Harp Flag will wave again.
Now is the time to rise up and fight,
And get the freedom that was taken from us.
Now is the time to rise up and fight,
TO RIS'UP AND FIGHT!
Right now is the time
TO RIS'UP AND FIGHT!
NOW IS THE TIME FOR IRELAND!
