This song has lyric videos on YouTube, ALL of them have the incorrect lyrics. ALL Lyric websites also have the incorrect lyrics, Google also has the incorrect lyrics.
Last year I typed the correct lyrics out for this and was going to post it on YouTube but decided I didn't want a copyright strike for the music so didn't.
In the last verse particularly it disappointed me that people wrote the lyrics as -"Oh where in my country", instead of "Oh Éireann my country"

So I present here for you the only correct lyrics text for the song online -


In the fair bay of Dublin, while carelessly strolling
I sat myself down near a clear crystal stream
Reclined on the beach, in wild accents deploring
In sorrow condoling, I heard a fair maid

Her hopes changed to mourning, that once were so glorious
I stood in amazement to hear her sad tale
Her heart strings were torn in wild accents so glorious
Saying, "Where is my Blackbird of Sweet Avondale?".

In the fair counties Kerry, through Cork, and Tipperary,
The rights of old Ireland, my Blackbird did sing
But woe to the hour, with the dark lights in Derry
When he from my arms, to Dublin took way

Oh, Heaven, give ear to my supplication
And strengthen the bold sons of old Gráinne Mhaol
And promise that My country will soon be a nation
And bring back my Blackbird of Sweet Avondale

Oh Éireann My country, awake from your slumbers
And bring back my Blackbird, so dear unto me
And let everyone know by, the strength of your numbers
That We, as a nation, would like to be Free.
