Wolfe Tones - Thank God for America lyrics



They left the old world for the new
And sailed across the sea
Driven from their homeland
To a land of liberty
Driven by the tyrant's hand
From Erin's Isle so green
They crossed the western ocean
To find life's elusive dreams

Into the bowels of the cities and the towns
There the Irish made their way
Across the new horizons
Far away from the bitter sea
They left their homes in Ireland
No more of the land to see
And made their way all over the land
And found a home all over the land

All over the land

Colorado, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Oregon,
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, Maine

All over, all over

Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Alaska,
Utah, Iowa, Ottawa, Omaha, Idaho, New Mexico

All over, all over

Minnesota, Arizona, Carolina North and South,
Nevada, Nebraska, Mississippi, and Missouri

All over, all over

Come on everybody, thank God for America

CHORUS:
Thank God for America
For your country and your fertile shores
Thank God for America
For we love this land forever more
Each city, each county, all the wonders that we see
We're all part of America
It's a land that's part of you and me
Thank God for America

They left the old world for the new
And sailed across the sea
Driven from their homeland
To a land of liberty
Driven by the tyrant's hand
From Erin's Isle so green
They crossed the western ocean
To find life's elusive dream

Over the hills and the valleys and the plains
The Irish brought the railways there
Blazing the trails of America
Far away from the bitter sea
From the gold mines to the coal mines
Up and down the cattle trails
They made their way all over the land
And found a home all over the land

All over the land

Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Nova Scotia, Tennessee, and Kentucky

All over, all over

Buffalo to Boston, Washington, Wyoming,
Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Delaware,
Don't forget Connecticut

All over, all over

Colorado and Chicago, Ohio, Illinois,
Maryland, Newfoundland, Barrow, and Rhode Island

All over, all over

(REPEAT CHORUS)
