Lyrics
Chorus
She’s the most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They’re hanging men and women there
For “Wearin’ o’ the Green”
Chorus
Then I will change the color
I wear in my corbeen
But ’till that day, please God
I’ll stick to “Wearin’ o’ the Green”
Chorus
Where the cruel cross of England’s thraldom
Never shall be seen
And where, thank God, we’ll live and die
Still “Wearin’ o’ the Green”
Performance
