Marching on Washington - America belongs to the Irish

[Verse]
From Dublin to New York we came to play
With the will of warriors and hearts so bold
Remember the famine and the tears unpaid
We march on Washington our story's told
[Verse 2]
They said we were just dreamers in a foreign land
But together we rise with an iron hand
Shamrocks and whiskey unite with pride
In the land of the free we won’t be denied
[Chorus]
America belongs to Paddy’s sons
With bagpipes blazing and fierce old drums
We built your cities stone by stone
Here we stand the emerald throne
[Verse 3]
We fought your wars from sea to sea
Famine-born fighters with a destiny
Irish blood runs deep in your veins
Your streets resound with our ancient refrains
[Bridge]
Tonight we dance on Capitol’s green
No lords or tyrants no king or queen
For every mile we walked every tear we cried
In the land of the free we still abide
[Chorus]
America belongs to Paddy’s sons
With bagpipes blazing and fierce old drums
We built your cities stone by stone
Here we stand the emerald throne
