Looking for a song my father taught me. I have the tune, and some of the words:

Oh, blest be the day when the green banner floated, sublime o'er the mountains of free innis fael (sp.?) ----

Her scepter, alas, fell away to the stranger, and treason surrendered what valor hath held-----

But wherefore lament o'er the glories departed, her Sun shall shine out in as vivid array, on daughters as fair, and on sons as true-hearted as e'er she beheld on St. Patrick's day.
