Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Old Ireland Free Once More
A.K.A Gra Mo Chroide (Eire Og)
Last night I had a happy dream,
though restless where I be I dreamt again,
brave Irishmen had set old Ireland free
And how excited I became when I heard the cannons roar
Oh Gra mo chree, I long to see old Ireland free once more.
It`s true we`ve had brave Irishmen as everyone must know
O`Neil, O`Donnell, Sarsfield too Lord Edward and Wolfe Tone
Also Robert Emmett who till death did not give o`er
Gra mo chree, I long to see old Ireland free once more.
Now we can't forget the former years they're kept in memory still
Of the Wexford men of '98 who fought on Vinegar Hill
With Father Murphy at their side and the green flag waving o'er
Oh Gra mo chree, I long to see old Ireland free once more.
Allan, O`Brien and Larkin died their country to set free
Someday soon brave Irish men will make the English flee
By day and night they`ll always fight `til death they`ll not give o`er
Gra mo chree, I long to see old Ireland free once more.
