declan hunt - off to dublin in the green lyrics

oh i am a merry ploughboy
and i plough the fields all day
till a sudden thought came to me mind
that i should roam away

for i’m sick and tired of slavery
since the day that i was born
and i’m join the i.r.a
and i’ll be off my tomorrow morn’

and we’re all off to dublin in the green, in the green
with the helmets glistenin’ in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash
to the echo of a thompson gun
oh, i leave aside me pick and spade
i leave aside me plough
and i leave aside me horsе and yoke
for i’ll no more be needing thеm now
and i’ll take me short revolver
and me bandolier of lead
oh, i’ll do or die, i can but try
to avenge my country’s dead

and we’re all off to dublin in the green, in the green
with the helmets glistenin’ in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash
to the echo of a thompson gun

and i leave aside me mary
she’s the girl i do adore
and i wonder, will she think of me
when she hears the cannons roar?
and when the war is over and old ireland, she is free
i will take her to the church to wed
and a rebel’s wife she’ll be

and we’re all off to dublin in the green, in the green
with the helmets glistenin’ in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash
to the echo of a thompson gun
oh, there’s some men fight for silver
and others, they fight gold
but the i.r.a. is fighting for
the land the saxon stole

and we’re all off to dublin in the green, in the green
with the helmets glistenin’ in the sun
where the bayonets flash and the rifles crash
to the echo of a thompson gun
