Ireland divided never shall be-free,
Ireland divided calls to you and me,
To hear her call would fill your eyes with tears,
Hear her calling, calling for volunteers.

Ireland divided never shall be free,
Ireland divided calls to you and me,
'Twas for the call that Joe McKelvey died,
Died as a martyr, dead but shall never die.

God Bless old Ireland every night I pray,
Keep her safe till that uncertain day,
When her true sons can tell the wide world o'er,
Freedom for Ireland! A Republic for evermore!
