A traditional Irish tune.
additional lyrics by A.Doherty

I wish I was,
back in CarrickFergus.
Outside of this tower,
free in BallyGrand.
I wish I could swim,
through a peaceful ocean,
to see once more...
Ireland a free land.
But the sea is wide,
and I can't swim over...
And nor have I,
an angel's wings to fly...
I wish I could find me,
a handy boatman,
to carry me home,
to a free land to lie.
For in kilkenny,
it is reported,
that left are but stones,
...scorched as black as ink.
With gold and silver,
I have supported...
But I'll say no more,
...until I get a drink.
May you be drunk today,
and then seldom sober.
All you Irish rovers,
come gather 'round!
If any man thirsts,
...for the taste of freedom;
let him come share a drink,
with the I.R.A.
Now, who'll take a drink,
with the I.R.A.?
