Song Lyrics:

Take Me To The Emerald Isle

Chorus

Take me to the Emerald Isle

Take me to its shores

Take me to its green hills

Its history and folk laws

Take me to the Emerald Isle

Fly me to its coast

Where I can her the lovely music

And singing I love most

 

Vs 1

Take me to the Emerald Isle

To its cities grand

To Dublin and Belfast

And all county’s all around

And if you have a mind my friend

To sit down for a spell

And tell me of your stories

You know and love so well  –  CH

 

Vs 2

And when I have that parting glass

And bid you all adieu

And return to my native home

Of gums and desert hues

I’ll view those plains of red dust

And feel the heat of day

And remember the green of Ireland

And my pleasant stay   –   CH
