Lyr Req: This Land Is Your Land (Irish version)

There was a football match yesterday and I'm sure one of the teams' supporters were singing "Bound for Glory".
If so what are the lyrics?
If not, another milestone on the road to daft-ity.

Given the nature of the songs sung at such matches it's probably best not to know the lyrics.

I was at the match Carol. I didn't hear "Bound for Glory", but I did hear a version of "This Land is Your Land". I'm afraid I don't know the words that were sung.

This Land Is My Land

Chorus
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the northern highlands to the western islands
From the hills of Kerry to the streets of (Free) Derry
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking by the Shannon water
Hand in hand with my little daughter
The church bells ringing, and the children singing
This land was made for you and me

So I walked her home by the old church steeple
Proud of my country, proud of my people
Of the men who tried there, of the men who died there singing
This land is made for you and me

Then I climbed a mountain, saw the crystal fountain
And heard a great roar from the rocky sea shore
Her eyes were gleaming, she cried oho Daddy
This land was made for you and me

Many thanks, lads.

Wonder what they were singing? T'wasnt This Land Is Your Land (altho they might also have sung that). I'm sure Bound For Glory was included in the song.

Might have to listen to another football match! At least I'd get Brownie points from significant other.
