Bless this pub oh god we pray
Keep it open night and day
Bless the lager and the stout
By the bottle pour it out

Bless the people here within
Give them tonic with their gin
Bless the bar hands either sex
Keep them free from bouncing checks

Bless the whiskey cold or hot
Whether I’ve paid for it or not
Slow me up on rum and coke
When you find I’m getting broke

Bless me when the goings hard
And reinstate me when I’m barred
Bless us all now come what may
Staggering home at the end of the day

Bless the heroes of Ireland, Plunkett, Pearse and Tone
And to the English that killed them I say Poag me Hone
Bless Donegal, my fathers home and native land
May he be remembered for bringing over the Hegarty clan

And Bless Manhattan with its Walsh’s, Doyle’s and Fitz’s
And may the Guiness flow freely here at Fritz’s
Give the girls and guys rugby teams my very best
