Be it ever so simple, there’s no Rule like Home;
To mind our own business we often are warned,
Then why not let Paddy take Ireland in hand?
Home Rule! Sweet Home Rule!
There’s no plan so good, so give them Home Rule.
Without it Coercion is tried, but in vain,
Evictions and Land Acts all bring strife and pain;
A Senate in Dublin, to meet at their call,
With the knowledge of their local wants dearer than all.
Home Rule! Sweet Home Rule!
