Irish Glee

Sprang from the earth
And all its salty meadows
Down with the dirt
And hearty bellows

Drunken fighting and pride
A warriors code to abide 
We singing fellows
Shipping out to new day

Setting off to make a way
With hands outreached 
Pasty colors and golden red
Tumbling, tossing, gripping 
Here to make our stay
