SONG, ERIN'S GREEN LAND. A new patriotic Song. Tune, Logic of Bouchan

by

Listen in the reader

Ye Sons of Hibernia, assert your birth-right, For Freedom, for Union, for Liberty fight, No longer in Erin let bigotry reign, No longer let factions your Union restrain.

Oh! Erin forever, Oh! Erin's the land Where freedom and union shall go hand in hand.

Oppress'd by disunion the North first unites. In union fraternal the West now delights. In the East like the Sun its radiance you see, When the South shall unite then Erin is free,

Oh! freedom forever, Oh! freedom for me, May we cease to exist, when we cease to be free.

Oh, union how social! Oh, union how rare! In which all religions may equally share: That unites in one cause the rich and the poor, Makes the fate of our tyrants decided and sure.

Oh, union forever, Oh, union's a rock, The force of our tyrants forever shall shock.

Though perjury doom'd thee, Oh, ORR to thy grave, Thy blood to our union energy gave; For union's a current, impede but its course, Far and wide it extends and resistless its force.

Ye sons of Hibernia, then join hand in hand, To chase your oppressors from Erin's green land.
