Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Gra Mo Chroide (Eire Og)
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.
