Song Of Ireland

One, two, three, four

I remember Daddy playin' on the violin

Jigs and reels that he brought from Ireland

And I'm the first born in America, my friend

I have never been there but someday I'll take a trip

Across the ocean on a big long silver ship

Hear them sing those songs I learned from Mama's lips

I just close my eyes and I can almost see

Those shamrock hills and those forty shades of green

And the roots that tie me to a land I've never known

Are callin' me home

Sun shines through my window here in Tennessee

God sure made this a pretty place to be

But sometimes it just don't feel like home to me

So I close my eyes and I can almost see

Those shamrock hills and those forty shades of green

And the roots that tie me to a land I've never known

Are callin' me home
