will you come to the Bower?
Will you come to the Bower
or the free boundless ocean
roll in thunder and motion
Where the mermaids are seen
and the fierce giant fish gathers
To love there in the green,
the dear land of our fathers
Will you come, will you, will you,
will you come to the Bower
Will you come to the land of O
The patriots' soldiers of
Where King Brian drove the Danes
and Saint Patrick the Vermin
still most beautiful and charming
Will you come, will you, will you,
will you come to the Bower?
and the storied Blackwater
and its chieftains did slaughter
or the broad majestic Shannon
You may sail round Loughney
Will you come, will you, will you,
will you come to the Bower?
You can visit New Ross, Gallen,
Where the green was last seen
Where the soil is sanctified
by the blood of each true man
Where they died satisfied their enemies
Will you come, will you, will you,
will you come to the Bower?
Will you come, will you, will you,
will you come to the Bower?
