Oh, my Ireland, you're bound to me br For you're the country, I long to see br I love your courage, so shining and true br For your people died for, the love of you br br Chorus br Ireland, the land of the green br With your valleys shining br And the air so clean br Ireland, the land of the brave br Will always be, my sweet home away br br Oh, my Ireland, land of beauty and song br And your people so humble, loyal, and strong br The hardships you've suffered br Have just made you what you are br A people of compassion with a will to survive br br Oh, my Ireland, the great emerald isle br Your children are many, and look to you with a smile br With a spirit unbroken, and no sweeter place can be found br Because once Ireland calls you....to Ireland you're bound.
