Raise a Glass to St. Patrick

Raise a glass to St. Patrick Raise a glass with me We'll celebrate the patron saint Who sailed the Irish sea On the hills of Slemish A slave became a man His spirit was unbroken by Chieftain or by clan The isle of green was in his soul He feared no druid's curse And long will we remember him In scriptures and in verse Raise a glass to St. Patrick Raise a glass with me We'll celebrate the patron saint Who sailed the Irish sea He climbed up to the mountain And he made this land his home We celebrate his memory now Wherever we may roam He left his footprints on the rock Of Skerry's windy shore He walked among us long ago We'll walk for him once more Raise a glass to St. Patrick Raise a glass with me We'll celebrate the patron saint Who sailed the Irish sea For him we wear the Shamrock In peace and harmony In Belfast, Sidney or New York Wherever we may be He's known by all around the world Both near and far away For everyone turns Irish now On Saint Patrick's Day Raise a glass to St. Patrick Raise a glass with me We'll celebrate the patron saint Who sailed the Irish sea
