    They have kept the green flag flying,
    Against the strangers taunt upraising,
    And today again they renew their vows.
    To God and Mother Erin.
    Blessings on your friends.
    Who have sent me over the water,
    Their triple leave of bard and chief
    Of Erins sons and daughters.
    May you ere know the exiles woe,
    O'ver Shannons proudly wave her.
    Above your Irish hearts good friends
    You will fill an Irish grave

    Bloom on my Irish Shamrocks,
    I have chanted you in my song
    Transplanted from old Shannons side
    To Hudsons wave along.
    Oh your name and fame will never die.
    The bard has done his part.
    Transplanted from an Irish soil you live in an Irish heart.
