Lyrics Hibernia - The Wolfe Tones

We left our home Hibernia her mountains and her valleys green
Evicted from our ancient home by the landlord's evil men
The bailiffs and the sheriffs came the peelers and the lists of men
With guns and bayonets fixed for war they took our home and land

No place to live no place to go the devils watched us as we starved
With gleeful eyes and loaded guns they took our food away
And some escaped and got away and lived to fight another day
To England, Scotland, Americay and far Australia's shores

Well that's alright, alright, alright,
Alright we're a brave resilient people
Well that's alright, alright, alright, alright the history of our land
Well that's alright, alright, alright, alright the story of a nation
And the fighting Irish always win the day

Hibernians, sure we're the wind that shakes the barley
Hibernians, sure we're the Mollies fighting justice down the mines
Hibernians, sure we're the Hibs of Edinburgh
Hibernians, we're Ned Kelly, we're the Whiteboys we're the men
And sure we're all the sons of Erin's Isle we're proud Hibernians

We cut canals and waterways, we're the navvys building steel railways
We're the miners in the depths of
Hell, in the steelworks we're the men
We're shackled to the Tommy Shops we find ourselves in constant debt
The company makes us buy our food from the profiteering stores

God bless you bold James Connolly you fought for rights and liberty
And the Mollies in Pennsylvania died on that scaffold tree
They gave their lives so man could live with justice and with dignity
We always will remember them those brave Hibernians

Well that's alright, alright, alright,
Alright we're a brave resilient people
Well that's alright, alright, alright, alright the history of our land
Well that's alright, alright, alright, alright the story of a nation
And the fighting Irish always win the day

Hibernians, sure we're the wind that shakes the barley
Hibernians, sure we're the Mollies fighting justice down the mines
Hibernians, sure we're the Hibs of Edinburgh
Hibernians, we're Ned Kelly, we're the Whiteboys we're the men
And sure we're all the sons of Erin's Isle we're proud Hibernians
