I had a true love if ever a girl had one
I had a true a brave lad was he
One fine Easter Monday with his gallant comrades
He started away for to make Ireland free
For all around my hat I wear a tricolored ribbon-o
All around my hat until death comes to me
And if anybody's asking me why do I wear it
It's all for my own true love I never more will see
He whispered, "Goodbye love, old Ireland is calling"
High over Dublin the tricolor flies
In the streets of the city the foeman is falling
The wee birds are whistling 'Old Ireland Arise'
For all around my hat I wear a tricolored ribbon-o
All around my hat until death comes to me
And if anybody's asking me why do I wear it
It's all for my own true love I never more will see
In prayer and watching the dark hours passed o'er
The roar of the guns brought no message to me
I prayed for my land and I prayed for my lover
That he may be saved and Old Ireland be free
For all around my hat I wear a tricolored ribbon-o
All around my hat until death comes to me
And if anybody's asking me why do I wear it
It's all for my own true love I never more will see
