God Bless England Lyrics

I'll sing you a song of peace and love Whack fol the diddle-ol the didoh day Of the land that rules all lands above Whack fol the diddle-ol the didoh day May peace and plenty be her share Who kept our homes from want and care Ah, God bless England is our prayer! Whack fol the diddle-ol the didoh day Whack fol the diddle-ol the didoh day So we say, hip hooray! Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle-ol the didoh day Our fathers oft were naughty boys Pikes and guns are dangerous toys From Ballinahinch to Peter's Hill We made Mother England cry her fill Och, but oul' Brittania loves us still! When we were savage, young and wild She came as a mother to her child Gently raised us from the slime And kept our hands from hellish crime And sent us to heaven in her own good time Now Irishmen forget the past And think of the day that's coming fast When we shall all be civilized Neat and clean and well-advised Oh, won't Mother England be surprised!
