Lyrics

V1

There's a cold front rising

No politics will keep you warm

News is not surprising

Change comes like our winter storms

V2

Since Paddy chased out the snakes

Emerald Isle follows the trinity

Superstitions cannot break

Our belief in divinity

Pre-chorus

We've fought for our religion

And our independent vision

We'll proudly wear the green

Chorus

History books might try trimmin'

But Irish people have all seen

They're hanging men and women

For the wearing of the green

The wearing of the green

V3

We came back from the famine

Hard times come and they will go

Ireland must always examine

Which way the wind will blow

Pre-Chorus

The Troubles has taught us well

Won't let Ireland go to hell

We'll proudly wear the green

Chorus

History books might try trimmin'

But Irish people have all seen

They're hanging men and women

For the wearing of the green

The wearing of the green (x4)

Repeat Chorus
