Beneath the green banner of Erin
I'd willingly die on the field
Ere that to the cold blooded Saxon.
I'd cowardly falter or yield.
So uplift the green banners of Erin,
A stain in no heart let there be,
But brandish your swords as you swear
To die or set Ireland free.

For must we forget all the glories
That Ireland's children have gained.
Whilst there's not a plain in old Erin
That ancestral blood had not stained.
We will not forget it dear brothers
Whilst a hilltop on Erin we see,
And we swear by the green spreading shamrock
To die or set Ireland free.
