Chorus 1:- Ó, Éirinn, grá mo chroí, you're the dear old land to me You're the fairest that my eyes did e'er behold You're the land Saint Patrick blessed You're the bright star of the west You're that dear little isle so far away At the setting of the sun, when my long day's work was done I rambled down the seashore for a walk And I being all alone I sat down upon a stone For to gaze upon the scenes of New York Chorus 2:- Ó, Éirinn, grá mo chroí, you're the dear old land to me You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen And if ever I go home, it's from you I never will roam You're my own native land so far away With the turf fire burning bright on a cold dark winter's night And the snow flakes falling gently to the ground When Saint Patrick's Day has come, my thoughts will carry me home To that dear little isle so far away Chorus 1:- Ó, Éirinn, grá mo chroí, you're the dear old land to me You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen You're the land Saint Patrick blessed You're the bright star of the west You're that dear little isle so far away On the day that I did part, well it broke my mother's heart Will I never see my dear ones anymore? Not until my bones are laid in the cold and silent grave In my own native land so far away Chorus 2:- Ó, Éirinn, grá mo chroí, you're the dear old land to me You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen And if ever I go home, it's from you I never will roam You're my own native land so far away You're my own native land so far away
