Song Of The Backwoods - The Wolfe Tones

[Chorus]
Ireland, boys, hooray! Ireland, boys, hooray!
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Verse]
Deep in Canadian woods we met from one bright island flown,
Great was the land we tread but yet our hearts are with our own,
And ere we live this shanty small while fades the autumn day,
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Chorus]
Ireland, boys, hooray! Ireland, boys, hooray!
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Verse]
To know that brave and good men tried to snap her rusty chain,
That patriots suffered, martyrs died and all tis said in vain,
But no, boys, no! A glance will show how far they've won their way,
Here's good old Ireland, loved old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Chorus]
Ireland, boys, hooray! Ireland, boys, hooray!
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Verse]
Happy and bright are groups that pass from peaceful homes for miles,
Or fields and roads and hills to mask when Sunday morning smiles,
And deep the zeal that true hearts feel how low they kneel to pray,
Oh dear old Ireland, blessed old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Chorus]
Ireland, boys, hooray! Ireland, boys, hooray!
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!

[Chorus]
Ireland, boys, hooray! Ireland, boys, hooray!
We'll toast old Ireland, dear old Ireland, Ireland, boys, hooray!.
