[Chorus]
I'm proud to be Irish,
And green is the colour for me,
And we the Irish people,
Wish to see our country free.

Oh, spare a thought for Ulster,
A people so torn apart,
And this should never happen,
Oh, England have you no heart.

[Verse]
The children how they suffer,
Well, for them the futures not bright,
Their games are not like our games,
They only learn to fight.

And what is the future for Ireland,
Well, the world is waiting to see,
Oh, but Paisley can shout forever, (Never! Never!)
But the answer is liberty.

[Chorus]
And so I'm proud to be Irish,
And green is the colour for me,
And we the Irish people,
Wish to see our country free.

Oh, spare a thought for Ulster,
A people so torn apart,
And this should never happen,
Oh, England have you no heart.

[Verse]
And the English how they're offended,
When we sing our rebel songs,
If they kept their hands out of Ireland,
This war would not be on.

For no longer we'll be silent,
The people must have their say,
Should it take mortar bombs in London,
Or Gerry Adams in the USA.

[Chorus]
And so I'm proud to be Irish,
And green is the colour for me,
And we the Irish people,
Wish to see our country free.

Oh, spare a thought for Ulster,
A people so torn apart,
And this should never happen,
Oh, England have you no heart.

[Outro]
And so I'm proud to be Irish,
And green is the colour for me,
And we the Irish people,
Wish to see our country free.

Oh, spare a thought for Ulster,
A people so torn apart,
And this should never happen.
