Wolfe Tones - Kiss the Ould Mother, Hug the Old Man lyrics

There's an Island that's famed and in Story Sweet poets of song and her praise And their Songs are of no brighter Story But for Sons that have seen happier days And though when I go the world over And no matter where ever i go In my heart there's a spot for old Ireland And for you now sweet Molly a'store And I'll kiss the ould Mother And hug the ould Man Give Johnny a shilling And shake hands with Dan Fight for me country and do all i can Then i go out with my girl Molly Ann Old Erin my country once happy But Fortune once smiled on your shore And I long for that day that's fast coming When her Beauty it be ever more For the english decievers by nature Though maybe you think them sincere If they say your a sweet charming creature Now dont you believe them my dear And I'll kiss the ould Mother And hug the ould Man Give Johnny a shilling And shake hands with Dan Fight for me country and do all i can Then i go out with my girl Molly Ann Success to the boys then from Erin The finest and smartest there seen In battle They prove themselves therein True to the shamrock the harp and the green Then here's to the mossy green bowers That grows around erin's Green Shore Every link of the ancient round tower And my girl now sweet Molly astore And I'll kiss the ould Mother And hug the ould Man Give Johnny a shilling And shake hands with Dan Fight for me country and do all i can Then i go out with my girl Molly Ann
