1. Here's to Donegal and her people brave and tall Here's to Antrim, to Leitrim and to Derry Here's to Cavan and to Louth, here's to Carlow in the South Here's to Longford, to Waterford, and Kerry. Refrain: 2. Here's to Tyrone, where O'Neill long held his own Here's to Monaghan, Fermanagh and Kildare, boys! Here's to her whose stroke broke the hated Penal yoke And you know that's the brave County Clare, boys. Refrain: 3. Here's to Sligo and to Down, and Armagh of old renown Here's to Kilkenny famed in story Here's to Wexford by the sea, that near set old Ireland free And here's to Royal Meath in all her glory. Refrain:

4. Here's to Galway and Mayo, that never feared a foe Here's to Wicklow, its peaks and its passes Here's to Limerick famed to all for its well-defended wall And still more for the beauty of its lasses. Refrain: 5. Here's to gallant Cork, the next county to New York Here's to Roscommon bright and airy Here's to Westmeath, where a tyrant scarce can breathe And here's to unconquered Tipperary. Refrain: 6. Queens County too we'll toast, and Kings for both can boast They are spots the invaders got some trouble in! And now to finish up, fill a bright and brimming cup And we'll drink, boys, to jolly little Dublin! Refrain:

Refrain: Then clink your glasses, clink 'Tis a toast for all to drink And let every voice join in the chorus For Ireland is our home And wherever we may roam We'll be true to the dear land that bore us.
