Lyrics
Proudly the note of the trumpet is sounding
Loudly the war cries arise on the gale
Meekly the steed by Lock Swilly is bounding
To join wealthy squadrons of sailors reeved
On every mountain, in strangeness, with fright or fear
Crash do the standards of dauntless red hue
On up, ten-gallored lads, throng from each mountain pass
Onward for Erin, O'Donnellibhu!
Princely O'Neill to array is advancing
With valiant chieftains and warrior clan
A thousand proud steeds in his vanguard are prancing
In the borders brave from the banks of the Bann
Many a heart shall quail under his bold avail
Deeply the massivest no man shall rule
When on his ears shall ring, borne on the breezes sweet
Tir Panail's dread war-cry, O'Donnellibhu!
Wild be your deserts, and the war wolf is howling
Fearless the eagle sweeps over the plain
The fox in the streets of this city is prowling
And all who are scared of him are banished or slain
On, with O'Donnell, then, fight the old fight again
Sons of Tir Panail, all valiant and true
Make the proud Saxon feel Erin's unbending steel
Strike, valiant palm tree, O'Donnellibhu!
Loudly the war cries arise on the gale
Meekly the steed by Lock Swilly is bounding
To join wealthy squadrons of sailors reeved
On every mountain, in strangeness, with fright or fear
Crash do the standards of dauntless red hue
On up, ten-gallored lads, throng from each mountain pass
Onward for Erin, O'Donnellibhu!
Princely O'Neill to array is advancing
With valiant chieftains and warrior clan
A thousand proud steeds in his vanguard are prancing
In the borders brave from the banks of the Bann
Many a heart shall quail under his bold avail
Deeply the massivest no man shall rule
When on his ears shall ring, borne on the breezes sweet
Tir Panail's dread war-cry, O'Donnellibhu!
Wild be your deserts, and the war wolf is howling
Fearless the eagle sweeps over the plain
The fox in the streets of this city is prowling
And all who are scared of him are banished or slain
On, with O'Donnell, then, fight the old fight again
Sons of Tir Panail, all valiant and true
Make the proud Saxon feel Erin's unbending steel
Strike, valiant palm tree, O'Donnellibhu!
