Come all ye lads and lassies and sit you down with me,

And I will tell the truth about a land that`s dear to me,

You`ve read it in the papers and you`ve seen it on TV,

But I will spell it out for you, what Ireland means to me.

(Chorus)

I is for internment of the innocent and free

R is for resistance to the laws of tryany

E is for the English who have torn our land apart

L is for the love of freedom in every Irish heart

A is for the answer we`re all searching for

N is for one nation and an end to this long war

D is for the dream of millions longing to be free.

That`s how I spell Ireland, that`s what Ireland means to me.

This land was once respected for it`s saints and scolars too

But now the bomb and bullet that`s all that makes the news

I know that it`s confusing and it`s hard to understand,

But I will spell it out for you by spelling Ireland

(Repeat chorus)
