Subject: Lyr Add: IRELAND'S 32
This is what I made of it, though I'm not sure about the last two verses.

Regards Mick Bracken

There's in Ulster nine in all
Armagh Antrim Donegal
Here's to Cavan and to Derry and Tyrone
To Fermanagh, Monaghan Down
We'll throw out the puppet's crown
Until Ireland's thirty two is all our own

Here's to old Ireland undivided
To all good Irishmen and true
The North, the South, the East and West
They will be forever blessed
One for all and all for Ireland's thirty two

Onto Leinster now we go
Dublin, Longford and Wicklow
Through to Carlow, Louth Kilkenny and Kildare
To Westmeath, to Meath and Leix
Full of nature's beauty scene
While Offaly and Wexford take their share

Limerick and the treaty stone
Has in Ireland's history shown
Why Kerry sent O'Connell on to Clare
Brilliant Meagher of the sword
Forced the light in Waterford
Rebel Cork and Tipperary do and dare

Connacht province has but five
The West's awake and much alive
Sligo, Galway and Roscommon fought the foe
Leitrim out of Shannon's fame
Singing high I proudly name
Of that grand and lovely county of Mayo
