Song Lyrics:

To Ireland

Vs 1.

I wake up and see rays of the sun come shining into my room

I doze a while in bed and my mind – it begins to roam

I know the curtains in my room are green and it flavors my reverie

Suddenly I know where I’m going –  I’m in a village from a post card scene

Ch.      

And I – am going home – to Ireland

And I – am going home – to Ireland

Vs 2 .

I hear the Irish whistle sounding I hear a lonesome boatman sigh

And just then I thought I heard the Wild Rover whistling as he passed by

I’m walking through the streets where famous writer’s thoughts still live and breathe

Where history shows the good and the bad, and peace may soon relieve   –   Ch.

Vs 3

I’m wandering throughout the country, rambling through the hills of green

And listening to the crashing seas around the cliffs of Dooneen

I’m in the villages and towns where music can be heard

As part of the very heartbeat of all the Irish nation here on earth.               –   Ch.
