[Verse]
Show me the man who does not love the land where he was born,
Who does not look on it with pride, no matter how forlorn,
I only know that I love mine and long again to see,
Oppression from be banished and Ireland once more free.
[Chorus]
Let friends all turn against me,
Let foe say what they will,
My heart, is with my country,
And I love old Ireland still.
[Verse]
You'll find no greater land than ours, if you search the world wide,
Although she's laughed at and despised, because her offspring's poor,
But if her sons could only get the wealth beneath her soil,
They would once more prosper and could live by honest toil.
[Chorus]
Let friends all turn against me,
Let foe say what they will,
My heart, is with my country,
And I love old Ireland still.
[Verse]
There's not an Irishman today who'd never wish to roam,
Into a foreign land if he could only stay at home,
Then give her liberty and let her banners be unfurled,
And Ireland and her sons will prove a credit to the world.
[Chorus]
Let friends all turn against me,
Let foe say what they will,
My heart, is with my country,
And I love old Ireland still.
[Outro]
I love old Ireland still,
I love old Ireland still.
