Old Dublin City there is no doubtin'
Bates every city upon the say.
'Tis there you'd hear O'Connell spoutin'
And Lady Morgan making tay.

With charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful sod,
Fightin' like devils for conciliation,
And hatin' each other for the Love of God.

From the fair sweet face of my sireland!

Like a bride in her rich adornin',
And with all the pent up love of my heart
I bid you the top of the morning.
