    Old Ireland he longed to see a nation once again
    All Irish men united 'neath the banner of Sinn Féin

    Glangevlin's hills no more he'll roam his earthly cares are o'er
    Neath sacred ground in yankee land he sleeps for ever more.
    Eternal rest God grant his soul to heaven we humbly pray
    And may we meet on God's right hand when the judgement day.
