Here’s a health to sweet Erin!
When roaming afar,
She shines in her beauty,
My soul’s guiding star,
Oh, ’tis long since the green hills
Of Cavan I saw;
Erin! Savourneen,
Slan leat go bragh
Chorus
Here’s a health to sweet Erin!
When roaming afar,
She shines in her beauty,
My soul’s guiding star.
Here’s a health to old friendships,
And tiems full of joy,
To the home and the hearth,
Of my heart when a boy.
‘Mid the wreck of my hopes,
Nature still keeps her law;
Matair, Savourneen,
Slan leat go bragh!
Chorus
Oh the land of the Shamrock
And harp has a spell
For this lone heart of mine,
That no language can tell!
Oh, ’tis long since the green hills
Of Cavan I saw;
Erin! Savourneen,
Slan leat go bragh
Chorus
