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
