Oh I hear your words
Rising like the sun.
Far across the fields
For they move as one.
Lining up like men
With their horses strong.
They will gather up
All their strength for song.
Oh these words I take
From this magic bag.
My sword and shield
They are all I have.
But they’ll fight for me
Just like Finn MacCool.
They are like a spear
I will throw for you.
Chorus.
Oh Ireland, oh Ireland.
Oh Cath-a-leen na Hoolihan.
Oh Ireland and Scotland too.
When will I see
Your green and blue?
But there’s more to this
Not just words you see.
Not just Ireland
For it’s you and me.
I am here you know
Like I’ve always been.
My two wee legs
Standing with the green.
Chorus.
Oh let me in
I am here so long.
Oh add my tunes
All to your song.
Oh harmony, oh harmony
Oh let your love
Just encircle me.
Chorus.
Oh Ireland
When will I see you?
Oh Ireland
When will I see you.
