Song
“Now, here's to Donegal with her peoples fair and tall, To Antrim, to Leitrim and Derry.”
I
Now, here's to Donegal with her peoples fair and tall,
To Antrim, to Leitrim, and Derry,
To Cavan and to Louth, to Carlow in the south,
To Waterford, Longford, and Kerry.
Chorus.
So gink your glasses, gink,
'Tis a toast we all must drink,
Let everybody join in the chorus;
For old Ireland is our home;
And no matter where we roam,
We'll be true to that dear old land that bore us.
II
Now here's to old Tyrone, where O'Neill long held his own,
To Monahan, Fermanagh, and Kildare boys,
Here is to the stroke that broke the fatal Saxon yoke,
Sure you all know the brave Co Clare boys.
Chorus.
III
Then here's to Rebel Cork the next city to New York
Here is to Roscommon bright and airy,
Here is to West Meath where tyrants scarce can breathe,
Now here is to unconquered Tipperary.
