It seems like only yesterday |
| [00:10.61] |
I sailed from out of cork |
| [00:12.67] |
A wanderer from Erin's isle |
| [00:14.83] |
I landed in New York |
| [00:16.90] |
There wasn't a soul to greet me there |
| [00:19.07] |
A stranger on your shore |
| [00:21.10] |
But Irish luck was with me here |
| [00:23.24] |
And riches came galore |
| [00:25.29] |
And now that I'm going back again |
| [00:27.30] |
To dear old Erin's isle |
| [00:29.40] |
My friends will meet me on the pier |
| [00:31.56] |
And greet me with a smile |
| [00:33.59] |
Their faces sure I've almost forgot |
| [00:35.84] |
I've been so long away |
| [00:37.70] |
But me mother will introduce them all |
| [00:40.13] |
And this to me will say |
| [00:41.63] |
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike my honey |
| [00:44.10] |
And here is your sister Kate |
| [00:46.24] |
And there's the boyl you used to swing |
| [00:48.22] |
Down by the garden gate |
| [00:50.34] |
Shake hands with all of the neighbors |
| [00:52.44] |
And kiss the colleens all |
| [00:54.52] |
You're as welcome as the flowers in may |
| [00:56.63] |
To dear old Donegal |
| [01:03.05] |
They'll give a party when I go home |
| [01:05.05] |
They'll come from near and far |
| [01:07.01] |
They'll line the roads for miles and miles |
| [01:09.15] |
With Irish jaunting cars |
| [01:11.29] |
The spirits will flow like pouring milk |
| [01:13.41] |
We'll like never seen |
| [01:15.41] |
And the piper'll play an Irish reel |
| [01:17.53] |
To greet the Yankee ring |
| [01:19.67] |
We'll dance and sing the whole night long |
| [01:21.66] |
So try none never being |
| [01:23.88] |
The Lads'll be decked in corduroy |
| [01:26.02] |
The colleens wearing green |
| [01:27.96] |
There'll be thousands there that I never saw |
| [01:30.26] |
I've been so long away |
| [01:32.14] |
But me mother will introduce them all |
| [01:34.42] |
And this to me should say |
| [01:36.04] |
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike my honey |
| [01:38.69] |
And here is your sister Kate |
| [01:40.71] |
And there's the boy you used to swing |
| [01:42.65] |
Down by the garden gate |
| [01:44.83] |
Shake hands with all of the neighbors |
| [01:47.01] |
And kiss the colleens all |
| [01:48.90] |
You're as welcome as the flowers in may |
| [01:51.12] |
To dear old Donnegal |
| [01:52.89] |
