GRA MO CRIODH 3/4
Last (C)night I had a pleasant dream, though (F)restless (G)where I (D)be
I (G)dreamt again, brave (C)Irishmen, had (D7)set old Ireland (G)free(G7)
And (C)how excited I became, when I (F)heard the (G)cannons (C)roar
Oh (F)Gra mo Criodh, I (C)long to see, old (G)Ireland (G7)free once (C)more.
It`s true we`ve had brave Irishmen as everyone will know
O`Neil, O`Donnell, Sarsfield too, Lord Edward and Wolfe Tone
Also
Robert Emmett who till death did not give o`er
Oh Gra mo Criodh, I long to see, old Ireland free once more.
Now we can't forget those former years, they're wretched in memory still
Of the Fenian men of '98, who fought at Vinegar Hill
With Father Murphy by their side, and the green flag flying o'er
Oh Gra mo Criodh, I long
to see, old Ireland free once more.
Allan, Larkin and O`Brien died their country to set free
Some day soon brave Irish men will make the English flee
By day and night they`ll
always fight `til death they`ll not give o`er
Oh Gra mo Criodh, I long to see, old Ireland free once more.
Oh Gra mo Criodh, I long to see, old Ireland free once more.
