"Too long I've been weeping where hedges are dreeping
With strength of my cellar, the clear mountain stream.
One night in my slumber as I lay a-sleeping
Napoleon appeared unto me in a dream
Saying, "arise up my friends from the clouds of destruction
That Erin lay under for many a long year;
For religion ye've suffered such great shame and scorn,
But now for the future brave boys do not fear.

(Refrain)
On the shore we will stand where Napoleon will land,
For he is the hero we hope will be seen;
The bells of the chapel will resound a ditty
To welcome Napoleon to Erin the Green

Over hills and deep valleys, over mountains and alleys
The bells of the abbeys so loudly will peal,
The three waves will thunder, as we stand and wonder
And long for a hero like Owen Roe O'Neill;
For if he was alive he would welcome Napoleon,
And these are the words I am sure he would say;
"Oh Cead Mile Failte, my friend you are welcome
To raise up the Faith that will never decay."

(Refrain)

We fought well at Antrim and likewise at Gorey
We waited in vain for the French to arrive;
But Boney set sail with his army for Egypt
And never a thought for the Croppies he gave.
But if he should still come we'll be there for to meet him
And all will be ready for to join his command,
We'll march out like heroes with Green banners flying
And Napoleon himself will be there in the van.

(Refrain).

The "three waves" reference is to a tale in Irish mythology which escapes me for now.

The above is as given in the sleeve notes - and may well vary slightly from what Frank actually sang.
