The Irish-American's Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Would we desert you now
Flag of the free?
When we a solemn vow
Flag of the free
You from all harm to save
Made when we crossed the wave
And you a welcome gave
Flag of the free!
Whose aid to cheer us came
Flag of the free
When to proud England's shame
Flag of the free
Famine swept o'er our land
Death ravaged ev'ry band
And loosed the tyrant's hand
Flag of the free
Are we now cowards grown
Flag of the free?
Would we you now disown
Flag of the free?
You to whose folds we fled
You in whose cause we bled
Bearing you at our head
Flag of the free
Could we desert you now
Flag of the free?
And to black traitors bow
Flag of the free?
Never! Through good and ill
Ireland her blood will spill
Bearing you onward still
Flag of the free!
