Cheer up, brave hearts, to-morrow�s dawn will see us march again Beneath old Erin�s flag of green that ne�er has known a stain. And ere our hands the sword shall yield or furled that banner be We swear to make our native land from the tyrant�s thraldom free! For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave, The scions of Lord Clare�s Brigade, the dear old land to save, For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave The dear old land, the loved old land, the brave old land to save! Though crouching minions preach to us to be the Saxon�s slave, We�ll teach them all; what pikes can do when hearts are true and brave. Fling Freedom�s banner to the breeze, let it float o�er land and sea We swear to make our native land from the tyrant�s thraldom free! For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave, The scions of Lord Clare�s Brigade, the dear old land to save, For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave The dear old land, the loved old land, the brave old land to save! Young Dwyer �mong the heath-clad hills of Wicklow leads his men; And Russell�s voice stirs kindred hearts in many an Ulster glen; Brave Father Murphy�s men march on from the Barrow to the sea We swear to make our native land from the tyrant�s thraldom free! For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave, The scions of Lord Clare�s Brigade, the dear old land to save, For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave The dear old land, the loved old land, the brave old land to save! Too long we�ve borne with smouldering wrath the cursed alien laws, That wreck our shrines and burn our homes and crush our country�s cause; But now the day has come at last; Revenge our watchword be! We swear to make our native land from the tyrant�s thraldom free! For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave, The scions of Lord Clare�s Brigade, the dear old land to save, For Tone is coming back again with legions o�er the wave The dear old land, the loved old land, the brave old land to save!
