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
