The Danes came to Ireland with nothing to do But dream of the plundered auld Irish they'd slew, "Yeh will in yer Vikings" said Brian Boru And threw them back into the ocean. The Scots have their Whisky, the Welsh have their speech Their poets are paid about ten pence a week Provided no hard words of England they speak Oh Lord, what a price for devotion. Two foreign old monarchs in battle did join Each wanting his head on the back of a coin If the Irish had sense they'd drown both in the Boyne And partition thrown into the ocean. The sea, oh the sea is the gradh geal mo chroí Long may it stay between England and me It's a sure guarantee that some hour we'll be free Thank God we're surrounded by water....
