That seas must roll between Old Erin and her faithful sons, That love to wear the green. Oh! we love to wear the green, Oh! how we love the green; On native land we cannot stand. For wearing of the green! Yet, wheresoe'er the exile lives, Tho' oceans roll between, Thy faithful sons will fondly sing "The wearing of the green" 2. My father lov'd his country, And sleeps within her breast, While I, that would have died for her, Must never be so blest! Those tears my mother shed for me, How bitter they'd have been, If I had prov'd a traitor to "The wearing of the green." There were some that wore the green, Wo did betray the green; On native land we cannot stand, Thro' traitor to the green! Yet, whatsoe'er our fate may be, When oceans roll between, Her faithful sons will ever sing "The wearing of the green." (gedruckt, Vorderseite)
