Green Lady- America Dream
Food in a rag opens to the night air
ireland's kind store aswage and to bear
The people are anxious and families wait
deliver your stories your knowledge your state
The lady in green her might and her care
Call to the people her torch and your share
Come one and come all now again and again
Freedom to all and your bretheren send
Fog on horizon blast of the horn
she pushes us on to new york we are born
Our clothes and our suit cases battered and old
alight and come hither and pavements of gold
There brother and sister and God now awaits
the great and the good and the clever she makes
Progress and colour and hard work be aloud
do well and reward and your fore fathers proud
Here are the masses religion a plate
The thatch of your old home a long gone relate
Home now awaits in this new mixtured land
Through hard toil or wager your new wealth commands
