Gra Mo Chroi

The Wolfe Tones

Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I 
be
I thought again, brave Irishmen, had set old Ireland 
free
And how excited I became, when I heard the cannon roar
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once 
more.
It's true we`ve had brave Irishmen as everyone must 
know
O'Neil, O'Donnell, Sarsfield too, Lord Edward and Wolfe 
Tone and 
Also Robert Emmett who till death did not give o'er
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once 
more.
Now we can't forget those former years, they're kept in 
memory still
Of the Wexford men of '98, who fought at Vinegar Hill
With Father Murphy by their side, and his green flag 
flying o'er
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once 
more.
Last night I had a happy dream, though restless where I 
be
I thought again, brave Irishmen, had set old Ireland 
free
And how excited I became, when I heard the cannon roar
Oh Gra Mo Chroi, I long to see, old Ireland free once 
more.
