Thank God For America - The Wolfe Tones

[Intro]
Give me a poor, hungry, huddled, mans,
Give me a poor, hungry, huddled, mans,
Give me a poor, hungry, huddled, mans,
Thank God for America.

[Verse]
They left the old world for the new,
And sailed across the sea,
Driven from their homeland,
To a land of liberty.

Driven by the tyrant's hand,
From Erin's land so green,
They crossed the western ocean,
To find life's elusive dreams.

Into the bowels of the cities and the towns,
There the Irish made their way,
Across the new horizons,
Far away from the bitter sea.

They left their homes in Ireland,
No more of the land to see,
And made their way all over the land,
And found a home all over the land.

[Pre-Chorus]
All over the land,
Colorado, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Oregon,
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, Maine.

All over, all over,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Alaska,
Utah, Iowa, Ottawa, Omaha, Idaho, New Mexico,
All over, all over.

Minnesota, Arizona, Carolina North and South,
Nevada, Nebraska, Mississippi, and Missouri,
All over, all over.

[Chorus]
Thank God for America,
For your country and your fertile shores,
Thank God for America,
For we love this land forever more.

Each city, each county, all the wonders that we see,
We're all part of America,
It's a land that's part of you and me,
Thank God for America.

[Verse]
They left the old world for the new,
And sailed across the sea,
Driven from their homeland,
To a land of liberty.

Driven by the tyrant's hand,
From Erin's land so green,
They crossed the western ocean,
To find life's elusive dream.

Over the hills and the valleys and the plains,
The Irish brought the railways there,
Blazing the trails of America,
Far away from the bitter sea.

From the gold mines to the coal mines,
Up and down the cattle trails,
They made their way all over the land,
And found a home all over the land.

[Pre-Chorus]
All over the land,
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Nova Scotia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
All over, all over.

Buffalo to Boston, Washington, Wyoming,
Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Delaware,
Don't forget Connecticut,
All over, all over

Colorado and Chicago, Ohio, Illinois,
Maryland, Newfoundland, Barrow, and Rhode Island,
All over, all over

[Chorus]
Thank God for America,
For your country and your fertile shores,
Thank God for America,
For we love this land forever more.

Each city, each county, all the wonders that we see,
We're all part of America,
It's a land that's part of you and me,
Thank God for America.
