Oh, father why are you so sad
G D
On this bright Easter morn'

When Irish men are proud and glad
G D G

A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
G D G
The boys of the old brigade

And from the glen came brave young men
G D G
To answer Ireland's call

'T wasn't long ago we faced a foe

The old brigade and me

And by my side they fought and died
G D G
That Ireland might be free

With rifle and grenade

May heaven keep the men who sleep

From the ranks of the old brigade

A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
